DVD output to red book dac?

I am considering selling my Audio Alchemy transport and replacing it with a Pioneer DV 525 DVD player, to be used as a CD transport for audio. I am considering keeping a custom modified A.A. DDS 3.o DAC that I would think should still sound superior over the oem Pioneer dacs.

1st question; Will the AA 3.0 dac work with the 24/96 output from the Pioneer DVD/CD player?
2nd question; If the AA dac will still work, does anyone doubt the AA dac will outperform the lo-fi stock dvd players dac?
Thanks,
KM

I've got the Pioneer DVL 909 (LD/DVD player). You can use your DAC to play CDs and stereo (non DD) movie tracks, but it won't decode a 24/96 data stream, so if you want to play 24/96 audio DVDs you will need to use the onboard DAC of the Pioneer (if it supports 24/96), or get a new DAC that supports 24/96 (Like MSB or Musicsl Fidelity, or Bel Canto). The DAC in my DVL 909 is pretty decent, but probably not up to the DDE 3.0. Still, give it a listen, you may be able to live with it.
