I'm not sure of this, but I remember a discussion about downsampling on
the Oppo 970 in AVSForum.

I kinda remember someone posting that if you use the HDMI output and set
the video resolution to 1080 then the audio is not downsampled. I could
be wrong, and the thread is very long (now over 110 pages) but you might
want to check there.
