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

Dr. Octodivx is correct. Dolby Surround and Dolby Pro Logic are not lossy. Could you be referring to

the Rear Channels which are Mono and not full range? It is Dolby Digital that is lossy and inferior to CDs.

Dolby Surround is basically a 3 channel system using only 2 channels (Right, Left). The surrounds are matrixed into the L/R signal and decoded with a Dolby Surround Decoder and the 2 rear speakers play the same signal. Dolby Pro Logic adds a steering mechanism for a center channel to center voices so they appear to come from the TV screen.

There are many excellent Dolby Surround CDs from Telarc and Delos, though unlike high resolution media they are 16 Bit 44.1kHz, no compression no sonic losses.
