your DVD player has two kinds of audio outputs.The analog outputs have an audio signal that goes directly into an analog amplifier: the voltage waveform is simply made larger and stronger to drive the speakers.
The digital outputs have the audio signal encoded. This signal has to be converted (decoded) to analog for amplification in a device called a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC). The DAC can be a stand-alone component or be a part of a home theater amplifier or receiver.
Your DVD player has DACs in it to be able to generate the analog outputs. Your integrated amplifier only accepts analog inputs. Thus, the only choice you have is to connect the DVD player to the amplifier with traditional analog cables. You do not have to worry about the amplifier being able to support 96K because it does not accept any form of digital input.
The DVD player was made this way for people with expensive receivers that would presumeably have better-quality DACs in them than those used in the DVD player. The digital signal would have to be connected to such a receiver with a specialized cable, either coaxial or optical.
