You can say that again - the volume thing is just the most obvious

I haven't. Is it anything like the original (1972)

I'd suggest that as the benchmark - everything else is likely to be an

To the point that when the drums kick in and the band pick up the tempo

The SPDIF protocol specification does specify sample rates, but it
depends on -which- version of the spec you are referencing, as it's been
revised upwards in several steps!
The GrandDaddy (IEC958) specified 48k as the max, while the latest

I have not long since done a re-rip of the 2 channel MLP files on the

There are a couple of things I have noticed.

You can burn the file as a DVD-A disc and play it using a cd/dvd player
if you have one that handles DVD-A. I have an Oppo player and use Mac
OS. I found a program called Burn which creates DVD-A discs. I then
connect the digital output of the player to my DAC. There are also a
Windows program
I know that the Transporter can downsample 24/192 for playback at 24/96,
but I would like to feed uncorrupted 24/192 via the Transporter to an
external 24/192 DAC.

Short (and true answer) is simply, no. 24/96 is max.
