Lite DAC AH, it was okay, not great. But it won't decode 2 channel info from DVD's
I agree that is pretty strange. Are your sure the DVD player was set to output 16/44.1 on the digital out? Some DVD players switch to 24/96 output when playing two channel from DVDs. The other problem could be that the DVD still send an AC3 or Dolby multichannel signal out. My guess would be the DVD player setting, not the DAC. The Benchmark won't have any problems as it accepts 24/96 signals in any case.
