New DVD-Audio music releases and talk about the latest players.

Re: SACD is the High Resolution Audio format, DualDisc is a VIDEO format, Mr. DVD-A Cheerleader re-read Sony's quote:

>> Let's face it, DVD-V as the DVD layer would render the CD layer useless, as we can put 16/48 Audio on the DVD-V which is already (marginally) better than CD. <<

The whole point of DualDisc is to present an attractive path for people (and record stores) to migrate from CD over to DVD-based music albums. To do this, record companies must offer an incentive. That incentive is hirez 5.1 discrete surround sound, with added extras on the DVD-V side.

Note that a standard DVD-5 has the capacity to store a typical whole hour-length album as 96kHz/24bit 5.1 surround sound, PLUS a Dolby surround track, PLUS the extras and a music video or two.

And to save space, what I reckon they mostly won’t include is a hirez 2-ch mix (either MLP or LPCM).
