But they do include Dolby Digital 5.1 tracks on all the DVD-Audio discs I am familiar with. Typically if your DVD player (assuming it is one that handles DVD-Audio) is set to Audio default (as the two different brands I have owned do)you simply need to go into your set-up menu and change the default to video then you can access the Dolby Digital tracks. The Classic HDAD provide a two sided DVD one encoded for Dolby Digital and one encoded for MLP Lossless (DVD-Audio).

Yes of course you are right about the HDAD disc not having Dolby Digital. I meant DVD-Video at 24/96. My bad.
So - that's not news at all. I think the original point was not needing a new format and hence a new player. Many (but not all)audiophiles (which is a small niche market) prefer stereo vs. multi-channel. Many (but not all) non-audiophiles are thrilled to have all the channels utilized (and that's a bigger market). Then there's the issue of navigating menus authored different ways. Many avg. (non-audiophile) customers think a concert DVD-V is the same as DVD-A (I've heard it at places like Best Buy and Circuit City over a dozen times and even from people working in the store). Had they gone that route w/o the new format they certainly would have a good shot at more hi-rez. The more formats a machine plays generally translates into more disc reading errors. Having a hi-rez DVD-V would have been nice and perhaps could have served to educate the avg. public on hearing compressed vs. non-compressed music.
