Robert,

The 568.1 can most definitely handle a 96/24 MHR input and deliver 96/24 to the front three speakers, L/C/R. The 568.1 will not do 96/24 on the rear or side channels, as the 568.1 cannot upsample these channels, only the front L/C/R. And, there is no way to get a high-res multi-channel source into the 568.1.

The "proof" in the 568.1 being able to handle a 96/24 MHR input is the fact that the 596 was released at approximately the same time and I have no problems playing a 2-channel 96/24 Audio DVD on the 596 through the 568.1.

When doing so, the 568.1 reports "MHR 96K". Meaning that it is receiving an MHR signal at 96kHz and is also outputting 96kHz.
