"Perhaps this stripping of the watermark code would make the DVD-A play 196/24 trough the Benchmark machine via the coaxial"I'm no techie and don't understand the recent breaking of DVD-A copy protection so I can't help you out (was hoping one of the experts would step in to the thread).
FWIW, I do own the Panny S47 and can tell you that its setup menu offers the option of 192kHz PCM digital output. And its audio display identifies 2-channel PCM tracks by word length, sampling frequency and format (LPCM or PPCM). My DAC doesn't have a frequency display but I take Benchmark's word that when the S47 identifies a DVD-A track as 24-bit, 192kHz that's what I'm getting out of my unprotected discs from AIX and Classic.
My (uneducated) guess would be that if you can strip the code that causes the unit to downsample to 16-bit, 48kHZ and put the track on a disc that the S47 can read, you'll probably be getting full hi-res DVD-A from the coaxial output.
