If a player handles DVD-A, then it will incorporate 24/96 PCM capability. However DVD soundtracks are at a lower sampling rate. They might be upsdampled internally to minimise bit loss but outputs from players will be either analog or redbook digital. The higher resolution digital signal is encripted and cannot be copied unless you have underground code breaking software. So, the short answer to your question seems to be that no, you cannot easily (and legally) do what you are suggesting.That said, if the analog out is fine (as it should be), you will get fine results from appropriate CD recording hardware & software.
I presume your copy would be used on lesser than your main system so my guess is that on this lesser equipment you would never detect any differences anyway.
