... I'm referencing the "norm" or the standard set by Warner releases before they went on hiatus.Like it or not, Warner set a very high standard. Any compromise down from that is a compromise.
Sure, 96/24 2.0 instead of 192/24. Why not? well, that just made the disc a lot less attractive to stereo audiophiles (remember them?)
Lack of DTS will make it less attractive to those without DVD-A players.
48/24 5.1 will make it less attractive to m-ch listeners.
No video will make it less attractive to the home theatre crowd.
Every compromise is a compromise, period. remember when DVD-As just have 1 MLP 5.1 track in the early days? sure, they all fit into DVD 5, but people like me weren't buying.
Anyway, racerguy is right. The rule of lowest common denominator applies. The only track we can be sure of is Dolby Digital. Anything else is an "optional extra" to be potentially sacrified for "more video."
So whilst we are debating 192/24 vs 96/24, the labels are probably debating whether to include MLP at all.
