Whoops, looks like this is going back.
Thanks Jason, it does only go to 48kHz. Odd because i borrowed a dvd-a disc from someone to check it out. Tried to use the bitstream/pcm digi cable to my reciever but couldn't get it to work, switched to the ang cables and it worked fine. I just thought that had something to do with which device was doing the D>A conversion, never thought it wasn't playing less then 96kHz
Back to the drawing board, the unit was a panasonic dvd-f87, just cost 116.00, too sweet to be true, i guess
I say a post a while ago about different modles to buy, i'll check it out and pick up one of them
