24bit/96khz a fraud

The current (Jan 2001) issue of Stereophile has an article on just this topic. Read the article about the Technics DVD-A10... It's about upsampling and not really about the DVD-A10. And just my opinion: The future of these "upsampled" kind of things is murky! The producers of recorded music have enough problems getting TWO channels of red-book CD down. Now they can do a half/dozen different sampling rates and 5.1 .... yeah right... and I can sell shares in the Brooklyn Bridge. But, this may take off, unlike Quad sound, DVD is very popular on it's own, and that may drag DVD-A into reality as a viable medium.

I think he means CD not DVD, i.e., the Cary Audio CD303 and other new CD players are listed as having 24/96 D/A converters. These are CD players, not DVD players. How do they decode if they don't upconvert?
