DVD-A burning update

The Discwelder chromeII works really well. It is very easy to use. So far my buring has been in the 2 channel mode but i hope to render some multitrack source material in the near future and try 4.1 (quad style) and 5.1 (surround)

Rendering times with 24/192K make it hardly worth the effort to go to 192K but since i am working from analogue source material (original recordings/self produced) i thought it was worth the effort.

At 24/192K, i get slightly over 1 hour on a standard dvd disc and the method that i am using makes these unplayable in anything other than a dvd-a player or computer set-up for dvd-a.

Later in the week i will do some 24/96K and some 24/48 and compare. The sound quality seems very very close to the original except the ultra high frequencies (that i can hear) seem to be boosted ever so slightly. This could be caused by the dvd-a player (panasonic) imho.

What i like especially about the dvd-a format is that i can make my own dvd-a's without having to use anyone else (sacd forces you to use a manufacturing plant) and for that purpose alone, the rather expensive cost of the software seems very well worth the price of admission. (how many sacd's could i get made for $3000?, not very many) I plan on archiving most of my analogue tapes to dvd-a and hard drive and this is the whole reason behind it...better than cd quality sound possible. (at least it seems to have better overall fidelity to me)
