Default Playing SACD on DVD Audio Players

Also many music video discs have been released on DVD in stereo, DTS
and DD long before DVD-A or SACD was even being sold, so there are a
lot of choices out there. You can use a Pro-Logic processor to get
"surround sound" from any stereo source, but I hate that for music.
Even the DTS and DD stuff usually is terrible, but there are some
exceptions that actually use the surround channels for ambience and
don't resort to horrible panning effects and placing some instruments
behind you, etc.

I have a question along the same lines. Some DVD movies obviously
have surround sound, be it 5.1, 6.1 or other. Are there any
multichannel music formats that play in a regular DVD player?


Dolby Digital or DTS-formatted versions of the surround music
are found on most DVD-A discs, so that the surround mixes
can be played on *any* DVD player, not just DVD-A
capable players.
