Andy - I am doing exactly what you are proposing in one of my set ups. I had a 565 and 24/96 5Ks and centre and i wanted to get their benefit so i got hold of a 568 V 1 which has 24/96 on front and centre. The rears are only 18 bit but that does not bother me because i am music only. If you want 24/96 all round you need the later versions of 568.

I inherited some other gear and then got a 518 to upsample some sources (CD and DAT) to 24bit . The 518 is a remarkable piece of kit but very complex - you need a PhD to read the manual! Its not so easy believe me, but it delivers.

Just this week I am rejigging again

All Sources to 562V3 to 518 to 568 to 5Ks

I can’t give you much concise instruction because I do a lot by trial and error ... but I usually get their in the end

I am planning some vinyl recording to DAT for fun and the 518 is handy for that ( my DAT is a Pioneer D07 which is another beast)

Stick with it it will be rewarding

Best regards Huw
