DVD-Audio
DVD-Audio or sometimes called DVD-A is a separate format from DVD-Video.
It is a format specifically designed to provide the highest possible audio fidelity capable on
DVD. DVD-Audio provides for audio in stereo and in multi-channel surround in a wide range
of specifications. In addition to audio, a DVD-Audio disk can contain a limited amount of
video, which can be used to display text, such as lyrics or notes. DVD-Audio can only be
played on DVD Players with DVD-Audio support (most DVD Players do not support this
format). DVD-Audio is currently competing with SACD as the new audio defacto standard.
