There's no reason that DVD-A had to be connected at the hip with video. While there are a few players out there that don't use video in their players, the vast majority do. Anything audiophile is a niche market and DVD-A tried to tie in with DVD-V, a venue audiophiles prefer not to incorporate into audio. This was the double-whammy that doomed it to failure. Tout higher quality audio, something that only audiophiles, a very small market, would appreciate because the masses couldn't care less about it, but make the format dependant on video, something which audiophiles desire so little association. Still not done, the majority of the labels urinated on the audio by lacing it with watermarking in the analog stream.
