New DVD-Audio music releases and talk about the latest players.

Not really cheating . . .

>> you cheated by accessing the menu - remember the whole point was how navigable the disc was WITHOUT using a display <<

I just wanted to see what the "official" menu options were -- for the purposes of this discussion.
To be honest, that was the first time I'd seen the menus on my player. (I'd only seen them before when testing the disc on a separate DVD-Video system a while back.)

N.B. I would like some official word on whether the "second" LPCM track you mention is actually just a reference to a common single LPCM track, or not. It would seem a stupid waste of space to have two identical LPCM tracks: one for DVD-V segment, and another for DVD-A access.

My gut feeling is that there's just one LPCM stereo track on "L'Estro". Especially since it's on a DVD-5 where I don't think two uncompressed 96kHz 24bit LPCMs would fit in addition to the hirez 5.1 MLP & Dolby mixes. Also, why have LPCM for the DVD-A part, when you can have space-saving MLP?

Maybe somebody here can do the math on the LPCM/MLP timing & capacity capability of a DVD-5.
