Dolby Digital has a maximum sampling rate of 48KHz at current specs and it has nothing to do with the player itself in this case.There are a very limited number of discs, released by Chesky, et al, that were encoded and sold as Digital Audio Discs at 24bit/96KHz. This is the 24bit/96KHz bitstream I'm discussing. Whether this is worth it to you or not, depends on whether you can find any 24bit/96KHz material you'll like. Note, this is different from DVD-Audio.
To get this data, you either have to use the DACs in your DVD player, or purchase a Pioneer DVD player or the Sony DVP-S9000ES. There are a handful of other players with this capability.
As for DVD-A vs SACD, I've ehard the inexpensive JVC player, and for $500 it's a very good DVD video player. The audio side of it just isn't happening on the same level to my ears. If you aren't in a hurry, or budget restrictions are serious issues, it might be best to sit back on the sidelines and see what happens.
I'm glad that you feel my recommendations were sound -- and that the Ref 30 is a welcome piece in your HT system :-) I'd feel much worse if you said it sucked.
