I recently purchased a Panasonic DMP-BD10 Blu-ray player and can report that it does indeed play DVD-Audio discs. This is my third DVD-Audio player and is the best-sounding one to date. I also own a Marantz DV9500 universal player and the Panasonic sounds significantly better. They are both superior to the Rotel player that I previously owned.
The BD-10 can now be purchased for ~$880 to $1000. A new model, the DMP-BD-10a will soon be available for $600, and it will also play DVD-A.

to go with that hi-def video (e.g. Chris Botti on Blu-ray).

In what way does it play DVD-Audio discs? Does it handle true ppcm (Meridian Lossless) multichannel surround?? Really? Or are you saying it plays 24/96 pcm nicely (not really DVD-Audio)? This is not a put-down, it's a HUGE piece of skepticism since the new formats have had no interest in handling the current SACD and DVD-A codecs. It's great news if it's truly a full-function (bass mgmt, etc.) DVD-A player, but BOY could they get a hint and at least list DVD-A as one of it's formats!! Not sure it will replace my vaunted tube-modded Modwright 3910, but it will help steer me toward BR at least. Thanks,
Ted
DVD-A is really inexpensive to implement. Panny has $80 machines that do it. Since Panny is a DVD-A supporter (and not SACD at all), they naturally threw it in for good measure....nice thing they did. Yes, 192K, MLP and six channels with good sound. All of Pannies DVD players except the very bottom line one play DVD-A.....the next cheapest only 2 channel but the rest 6 channel.
It's not well-publicized, but yes, now that I'm searching on it I see where a few dealers and comments have listed DVD-A capable. Thanks for enlightening me. I've had many DVD-Audio players as time as gone on (five,I think, beginning with the old Technics A10), and my current Modwright tube modded 3910 is still my fave, but to have this on a BR player is nice to have.
So, has anyone compared the sound to other DVD-A players/universals? Thx
Ted
It looked like it was about to die ...
Not close.
The ability to make your own DVD-A's is saving the format BIG time.
I can't say the same about the 'other' format.
Okay, fill me in: How do I make a hi-rez download for DVD-A? Where are the sites that offer 24/96 or 24/192. Also, if you are going to download hi/rez music, why not just leave it on the data base and decode it thru a Benchmark DAC or equivalent? Their newest DAC offers USB and 24/192.

with updated audio decoding. They reduced the MSRP over 50% and give you more audio options....hey, now that's what I call progress! The 10A is starting to trickle in to dealers now. A few people on AVSforum.com have just bought one. So far, these Pannies are the only Blue Ray players to play DVD-A.....good for them.
