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

What about my problems???

I am both an SACD supporter (over 300+ SACDs in my collection) and a DVD-Audio supporter (over 100+ DVD-Audio discs in my collection).

I have the Donnas DualDisc, and the Simple Plan DualDisc, and NEITHER play in any of my home CD players. I cannot play the CD layer in either of my Sony CD/SACD players (XA777ES or C333ES) nor will it play effectively in my Denon 3800 DVD-Audio player. The kicker was that both DualDiscs won't play in my daughter's plain old CD boombox. On a "positive" note - the DualDiscs do play in two portable CD Walkman as well as my car CD players.

I support and buy many DVD-Audio discs and I am very happy with those I have, and the DualDisc's DVD-Audio side play fine in my Denon 3800. But the format was designed to play in CD players, which I have more problems than not. So please don't say I am posting 'nonsense' about the CD layer of the DualDisc. The problems I am having are real, and I don't like it.

In my estimation DualDisc is a poor format to succeed DVD-Audio. I would much prefer a DVD-Audio disc and separate CD in one package (as opposed to what we have gotten).
