Thanks guys, any more?

I forgot about the aix stuff. Problem is, we're testing/comparing/demoing some DACs in 2 weeks, and I was hoping to find something I could get locally to ensure it's here in time. There is a specialty store not too far away that might have some older Chesky, possibly even aix.

That Queen disc could be quite handy, as I have the original vinyl version, somebody has the CD, and the DVD-A is easy to find; the different formats of the "same" recording makes an interesting comparison for perspective. I presume it also puts out the 96/24 to the coaxial output too...all the DACs have coaxial inputs, but not all have Toslink.

Do some players/discs that will allow the 96 output change it to 96/16 or 96/20 ? Or something like that. I vaguely remember reading something like that a long time ago. Just asking because I'm not sure how all the DACs will handle a 24 bit word length...somebody'll know.

[You can tell this 96/24 input to the DACs is mostly for interest's sake, as the general lack of software makes it not particularly useful, but we're wondering if it will show up any DAC characteristics more clearly.]
