The processors in some DVD players may not accept 88.2kHz for decoding. However, most of them should allow for output via coax or TOSlink for decoding by an outboard DAC (as long as they also output 96kHz). I'm pretty sure the MSB Link DACs have 88.2kHz as one of the input lights.
Only a possibility, but...
You might be able to get an answer from John Atkinson of Stereophile. Many of the Stereophile recording projects were done at 88.2kHz and downsampled to 44.1kHz for the CD version. John may have burned some of these 88.2kHz recodings to DVD. If he did, maybe he can let you know what DVD player he uses to play them on.
