Hi everyone,

I got and DVD-Audio disc which have two tracks, one of them at 96kHz/24-bit and the other one at 192kHz/24-bit, but I don't have a DVD-Audio player and I would like to listening this disc on Windows 2K. I got an Audiophile 2496 soundcard so I know that I can't listen the track at 192kHz but I would like to listen the 96kHz/24-bit one at that quality. I used Media Player Classic 6.4.8.4 for that task but when I select info, I notice the track is listening at 48kHz/16-bit. What audio codecs or program do I need for an accurate performance (96kHz/24-bit)?

Sorry for my english I thank you in advanced.

Cheers!

Not many cheap programs can playback DVD audio. It maybe worth trying a cinema program like powerdvd. Wavelab can. I have the same sound card as you, as far as I know it may not work with DVD audio as its only stereo and DVD audio can have more channels. I guess it depends how many are used on your disc. Media player cannot play DVD audio. Its not very popluarso its not very well supported.

Thanks for your answer.

The track at 192kHz/24-bit is in stereo, so I think I could listen at least at 96kHz/24-bit (the limits of my soundcard).

Maybe - with the right software. DVD audio hasnt been succesful so there isnt much software around.

Media Player Classic supports DVD-Audio format so I think the problem is in the codecs. Any idea?

Ther are 2 DVD audio formats : DVD-A and SACD. I think media player classic only supports DVD video sound (MPEG-2) which is different. As far as I know - there are no codecs for either of the dvd audio standards.
