luvdunhill Posted January 21, 2008 Report 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 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.
deepak Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 I believe the high res audio on most DVD-A discs is in MLP?
luvdunhill Posted January 21, 2008 Author Report 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.
Dusty Chalk Posted January 21, 2008 Report 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.

Hold that thought
luvdunhill Posted January 23, 2008 Author Report 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
