Will,
"A lot of players have hi-rez audio playback capability built in, which your 950 can handle."
I experiemented with > 44.1K into my 950, but my 950 could handle it in stereo only, as I remember. It didn't allow for processing of > 44.1K in DTS NEO or DPL 2.
Quick clarification. The "hi-rez audio" I was talking about was SACD and DVD-A, which I had just mentioned in the previous sentence, and which the "950 can handle" via its 5.1 analog inputs.
Best,
Sanjay
