DVD-A recording titles to die for

I just got a DVD-A player, and I like to start a collection of such format. I have purchased three recording titles so far, and there is only one that I love to listen over and over. It is The Look of Love from Diana Krall. Since I am opened to all preference, I like to find out what is recommended out there.

I agree it all depends on the mixing of the Disk. I prefer 2 channel mixes and all the Diana Krall DVD-A recordings are the best I've heard (full bodied and silky smooth) There are more duds than good recordings especially the Rock and Roll titles. SACD's seem to be more consistent and much easier to use. I hate the menus I need to navigate on my DVD-A player.

I have a pretty decent system

Von Schweikert VR-4 GenII
EAD TheaterMaster 8000
Theta Dreadnought Amp
Samsung HD1000 DVD-A
Sony SCD2000ES (could be better but adequate)

I prefer 2-channel over multi-channel. Default is Multi and I needed to memorize the menu to get to the 2-channel program. With SACD I only need to hit a button to switch between 2/multi/CD and the transition is instant.

I was once a surround sound fan buying up all the multichannel disks I could find, however, since my gear has significantly improved I've gravitated to 2 channel.
