I was reading my recent edition of the Audio Perfectionist Journal and Richard Hardesty (formerly of WSR) made a comment that I wasn't surprised to hear - but he's totally right - DVD-Audio is a dead format.
Look what is happening - the dual disc (as many of you have reported) is being dropped by virtually all labels. Dual disc was supposed to give us DVD-A but instead just offered enhanced PCM on the DVD side (it sounds worse than the CD side in my opinion). We haven't seen any DVD-A of anything mainstream - the last DVD-A dualdisc I've seen from a mainstream band was "WITH TEETH" from Nine Inch Nails and that was released mid-last year.
I haven't seen anything else with high rez. nor does it look like anything else is being released with it. SACD still is releasing titles but that is a niche market only. So much for software on my Denon DVD-3910...(at least it's a good sounding CD player).
Do you think music studios are holding out for what they can do on BRD? Think of storage, think of secure copy protection - think of potential sound quality of uncompressed PCM up to 24/192?
