New DVD-Audio music releases and talk about the latest players.

Re: "one can only speculate...

OK, I'll 'speculate' — conspiracy theory alert ;-) — that it could be to try and sabotage it from within? Or maybe there is an internal rivalry between Sony Music and Sony's consumer electronics division?

One thing's for certain though, more and more chart albums are coming out with both CD and DVD content included in the CD jewelbox, stocked in the CD aisles of record stores.

So the issue now is clearly one of "DualDisc" versus "Dual Discs".
For example, in the UK, "The Donnas" and "Simple Plan" comes on the latter -- i.e. two separate discs — and includes the hirez 5.1 DVD-Audio on the DVD. These are both DualDiscs in the US.

b.t.w. Note that Sony never talked about putting stickers on their players for the myriad other discs (such as copy controlled ones, or ones with CD-video or ROM content) which are not exactly Redbook audio spec.
