  My understanding is that the primary specifications for true DVD-Audio are not only 24 bit word length and 48/96/192Khz sampling rates but that all "true" DVD-Audio's use Meridian Lossless Packing (MLP)or PPCM versus the lossy compression scheme utilized on DVD-Video discs (with and audio stream)LPCM.

    LPCM is uncompressed PCM. You can't have "loss" if you don't compress it.

      I am wrong in what I said about LPCM being lossy. I stand corrected and unfortunately it is not the first time or the last time in my life I will be wrong.
