NOTE
 Due to bandwidth limitations, high resolution audio formats such as Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD High Resolution and DTS-HD Master Audio cannot be sent through the coaxial or optical digital audio output. A reduced resolution version of the same audio track will be output instead. To listen to high resolution audio formats in their best quality, please use the HDMI connection if you have a receiver that handles HDMI audio (see page 12) or use the multi-channel analog outputs if you do not (see page 15).

 Due to copyright restrictions, SACD audio cannot be sent through the coaxial or optical digital audio output. To listen to SACDs, please use the HDMI or analog audio connections.

 Due to copyright restrictions and bandwidth limitations, full resolution audio from DVD-Audio discs cannot be sent through the coaxial or optical digital audio output. To listen to DVD-Audio in full resolution, please use the HDMI or analog audio connections.

I have copied the same text I had copied in the other post I mentioned. The tricky bit is getting 96/24 INTO the processor. Copy protection enforced on manufacturers means this is not as easy as you may have thought. Meridian introduced MHR for many reasons, but one of them was it allowed them to transfer 96/24 in an encrypted way between audio units. (Do a google search on the site if you want more info on MHR, there is more to MHR than the single sentence Ive just typed). Telling the 568 to output High Speed doesn't mean its receiving High Speed.

In the context of the OP and his Oppo, it won't output 96/24 on the digital connections, so Oppo recommend HDMI which has issues for audio in my opinion.
