With dts if you have 24/96, the "96" part is an extension on the 24/48 core, so if there's no 24/96 decoder it will only read the 24/48 core.

If you're selecting that your output is capable of "96" and you take a 48kHz source, it's not going to upsample it to 96kHz. The only upsampling it does with audio is for CD, which would be 88.2kHz or 176.4kHz. If your receiver can't handle it you'll either get no sound or it will read 88.2 instead of 176.4

You're not going to damage anything.

Okey doke, I took the little blurb on my PS3 that said "selecting incorrect khz ... may cause damage to your speakers" to mean that it could do so...
