DVD to MD sample rate question

I am planning on doing some DVD to MD recording from Mac to MD via optical out (although my question applies equally to Windows). Assuming the DVD outputs at 96kHz, will there be any noticeable difference in SQ if I set the computer's output to 48kHz and let the MD (MXD-D40) do the downsampling to 44.1, or should I just set the computer to 44.1 and let it do the downsampling? I will probably monitor the recording so I can set track marks, but that is another issue.

It may depend on the MD. I think the D400 has a doubling circuit in it which it uses for high speed copying. Not sure about the D40.

My instinct would be to have the 'puter spit out 44.1 since it probably is running 96 (or higher) internally, and should have plenty of CPU to do the downsample (if CPU is required).
