Make that *all* DVD-Video players. Some of the early players were 20bit/96 kHz, but in practical terms, 20 vs 24 bits is irrelevant. There's not a DVD player in the world that can approach a 24 bit SNR. I'm doubtful that any can even reach true 20 bit resolution (120 dB SNR).

The 20 bit DVD players can read any 96/24 DVD-Video signal, including Chesky DAD's. Anyone who owns Chesky DAD's and a DVD-Video player, whether it outputs 20/48, 24/48, 20/96 or 24/96 through its digital out, should compare the sound quality from the analog outputs and the digital outputs to see which is better.
