luvdunhill Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 So, this is a really stupid question, but I was wondering if DVD-A discs have PCM 24/96 tracks on them? If I have a transport that can play the PCM information off of DVD-V discs, is there any reason it won't work with DVD-A discs? Thanks!

Dusty Chalk Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 No guarantee -- it has whatever the DVD author gave it, and not only that, but if the author programmed the DVD not to give you access to the 24/96 track unless you had a DVD-A player, then that's the way it will work. Is there a specific DVD-A you had in mind? You can try asking me or anyone else here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepak Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I believe the high res audio on most DVD-A discs is in MLP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvdunhill Posted January 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 not really a specific disc, just wanting to get a list of all classical discs that have PCM 24/96 tracks on them that don't require a DVD-A player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Okay, I don't know of any definitive list. I believe any of the early "DAD" DVDs from Chesky, Arts Music or Classic Records will qualify. I have an extra copy of this one if you want it (in fact, you'd be doing me a favor if you'd buy my copy [it's still sealed]): In a lot of cases, the same companies re-released titles as proper DVD-A's, and I don't know that in all cases, they retained the ability to play the 24/96 layer via DVD-V, and more importantly, via the digital output.

luvdunhill Posted January 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 those Classic Record releases look awesome. Everest is a label that I don't really have much coverage on in vinyl, so this will be perfect. I'll take the Ravel off your hands I suppose. I'm going to head on down to Waterloo Records this afternoon and see if they have any of these in stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
