There is a fairly good article describing the differences between DVD-A and SACD in the online Wikipedia encyclopedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-A

I have a DVD recorder that I use for copying programs and movies from a satellite receiver. It is also capable of playing DVD-A discs.

I have also tried to record various XM radio stations from the satellite receiver. But, the bitrate of 32 or 64 kbps produces rather mediocre sound. Evidently they try to squeeze too many channels into a very narrow bandwidth.

I have tried to record standard FM radio on this recorder in what I presume is the DVD-V mode. The sound is much better, but I'm not sure if it is recording at 24/96 or higher. Does anyone know whether such a recorder can record in DVD-A.

Thanks

Barney
