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

Re: DTS

1) 24/96k/5.1 is beyond spec for DVD-A, so some compression is required, certainly zero doesn't cut it.

2) WG-4, which is the governing body of DVD-Audio within the DVD Forum, held an open competition for lossless compression codecs. DTS was one of the entrants, and failed on at least one track, as did all other entrants save Meridian and their Meridian Lossless Packing.

3) Max bit rate for DTS is about 6mb/sec if I remember my discussion with Lorr Kramer correctly.
