, beats it on all levels for $299: 112 dB dynamic range,
and sampling to 96kHz, which you could use to produce
DVD-A hidef recordings.
It looks like the new consensus is that DVD-A is never going to be a
mainstream format. Distributing a recording in DVD-A is not going to sell a
lot of copies of it based on format, and not having a DVD-A format version
of a recording to market is not going to be much of a stumbling block.
As things continue to jell in the HDTV marketplace (it looks like Blu Ray
just got its majority) it seems reasonble to expect that Dolby TrueHD will
be the new emerging HD audio format of choice.
