Can anyone tell me if the Denon 2900/2910 has digital audio output of Stereo at 24 bit with 192kHz sampling rate ?
TIA
no, looking at page 13 of the manual, it downsamples 24/192 material to 24/96 for the digi-out.
additionally, it will not output over 16/48 for any copyrighted PCM material.

I'm using my Grace m902 as a DAC and pre, to be quite honest I like the sound of the 2910 via the analog output better than digital>m902. To me it's a non-issue since I prefer the analog out. If I could find some DVD burning software that wasn't a total pain in the ass to use I might be able to test and try.
curious about this statement...what is the rest of your system? I have never heard one of those grace boxes, but if the denon outperforms it, i may have to look at this player. anyone else using a grace headphone amp/DAC as a pre-amp? do all-in-one boxes typically sound better than it as a front end?
The rest of my system is as follows:
Denon 2910 analog ---> m902 (preferred the analog over digital, which makes me happy because swapping from pc/Denon is a pain)
Tascam DVRA balanced ---> m902
PC dig coax ---> m902
Swapped between the following amps: B&K ST-202 plus (currently), AQ1001DT (like the high end of the AQ slightly better, plus it's an integrated so 2 volume controls can be a pain.
Speakers: B&W 705's and an Outlaw Audio LFM-1plus
through the analog out the Denon seems to sound a bit more lively, slightly colored, the m902 a bit dry, maybe analytical. (perhaps due to it's purpose as a reference unit) Additionally the 2910 can do HDCD decoding, something the m902 cannot, a much more dramatic difference can be heard here.
