There is a very interesting article in new Stereophile, in Sam's Space (Sam Tellig). He "touches" on this subject, and if you read it you will come to some answers. Just an insert:"...It seems DVD-A releases from so called "major" record labels will be watermarked. Do you want these crippled discs? I sure as hell don't"
Next ? Is DVD audio as good as CD?
I am going to upgrade my CD player A few people have said I should consider a DVD player with 24/96 DAC's ie Pioneer dv37 which is in my price range (see previous post). Is this a feasible alternative to a $600-700 cd player? I would like to have a DVD player since I don't have one yet but I don't want to sacrifice sound quality. As always thanks for your input.
