Don't be misled by the 24/96 etc. claims of various DACs.
A CD and thus the digital output of ANY CD player or transport is no more than 16 bits 44.1kS/s or kHz .... Period. Whether a DAC or other device "changes" this data to a different format has nothing to do with the digital source, namely the CD.
A CD player as a transport has nothing to do with the external "manipulation" of the data from the CD.
