Blu-ray may be replaceing DVD-V but I don't see that it has replaced DVD-A.
Very, very few companies are releasing Blu-ray music discs (which are rarer than DVD-A discs, that is rarer than hen's teeth).
The general public see blu-ray as a video format exclusively.
Follow Ups:
Basically true though the most recent group of Blu-ray discs
I received for review does have six audio only releases.....
Nevertheless, blu-ray is a disc-based carrier of hi-rez PCM (just as DVD-A was), regardless of how the public sees it. In fact, blu-ray could be a kind of stealth way to get the masses into of hi-rez audio! ;-)
Also, just from the audio point of view, some blu-rays, such as the recent Chailly/Leipzig Mahler Symphonnies (2 and 8), Mehta's Spanish "science fiction" Ring Cycle, and the Turandot (the Spanish one, not the Met one), need take a back seat to no other recordings as far as sound quality is concerned. Just IMHO.
