Well this has been very helpful, and yet opens up even more questions. :) As noted my Philips player doesn't do DVD-A. I did buy Yes Fragile last night and listened to the DD layer. Some big improvements in the isolation of instruments, the vocals and soundstage. Bass was a little weak and there was an annoying grainy sound at about the same level and frequency of tape hiss and at spots almost sounded like a tape recording that had started to distort. Some good, some bad. I'd expect the DVD-A layer is much better. Packaging was cool though.I demoed the Pioneer universal player when I was looking for a player. Not a bad player by any means, but I found the sound awfully "hot" in the high end. The Philips player really blew me away, and it's Redbook replay was better than my NAD C521 HDCD player. There are also some super mods for the Philips which I will probably get sooner or later. If the Pioneer does true DVD-A I'd be willing to plunk down $100 or so for one. It wasn't too bad. Just what I need, another remote to drive my wife nuts.
I wouldn't mind finding a DVD-A/HDCD player. I know they are out there but just can't seem to locate one. I think Mitsubishi makes them.
I can't imagine why a DVD-A unit that can process the hi-res information wouldn't not beable to output it to an analogue output. That doesn't compute (for me anyway).
