RSX1055 & Philips 963SA DVD

[Alfa]

Have purchased and am waiting for the new Philips 963 DVD/SACD player, and was wondering what decoders i should use in the setup?

The multi input or the digital co-ax input?

yes

The longer answer is that you'll need both connections. The digital connection will be used for DTS and DD while the multichannel inputs will be used for DVD-A and SACD.

hi,

i use both connections with this units.
only when i switch to 196khz upsampling on the 963 menu, i get trash out of my speakers.
i the german ht-forum they told me to set it at max 98khz, but the 1055 recognizes a 196khz signal.
hmmm..but the rest of the signals work fine with the 963 and the 1055.

Does the upsampling make a difference?

I read somewhere that using an external DD/DTS decoder was better than the Rotel internal DAC. Or is it still better than the 963's?

Reading other threads ... it seams (to me anyway) that the DACs in the Rotel RSP1066 / RSX1055 are capable of 24/192 ... but the processing is only capable of 24/96.
