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

Re: There's no reason why it wouldn't be possible on Blu-Ray.

Given the outrageous cost of Blu Ray replication (In the UK, Sony DADC are the only licensed replication company) and the basic licenses are £20,000 up front.
This is before per unit replication, before authoring (remember that Scenarist 4 is the *only* package that can be used for commercial release, as none of the others are any good for anything except BD-R.

There is also a spec change coming on October 31, making BD-i support amongst other things mandatory.
This may well affect all existing players.

Additionally, no other audio except LPCM or Dolby Digital and DTS core audio is actually mandated for Blu Ray, so there are a vast majority of players that will not ever support DTS-HD MAS, Dolby True HD, so where is the High Rez?

Personally, I don't give a short, sharp one about video. All I care about is the *music*, and DVD-A works just fine for that.
