This could be a lame question, so sorry in advance...higher resolution?

Computer Audio Asylum

Music servers and other computer based digital audio technologies.

I have a question, might be obvious for some but its making me scratch my head....
I have been listening to the Beatles 'Love' album on standard CD on my PC. I was wondering if I could get any greater resolution from the other layers on the DVD-A disc.
I only listen in stereo on the 'puter on my headphones but was trying to work out if I could extract anything else over and above the stock PCM recorded version.
Is there a Codec for playing DVD-A on a computer (a long shot), or are the other Dolby layers going to be of a lesser or lossy format worse than that of a CD.
I really will have to get myself up to speed on formats other than just CD and Vinyl...
Cheers,
K
P.S.
At the moment I play ripped CD's from a hard drive in Wavelab (or iTunes if I'm a bit lazy) and send to a firewire M-Audio 410. It then sends spdif to an MF X-dac V3 and X-cans V3. I am sure this could be done better as well.
