Probably because they don't figure folks need to know. As more and more DVD players have DVD-A MLP decoders in them, then more and more folks will see the "Advanced Resolution" menu when they put the disc in their machine.
Follow Ups:
If it has high resolution, as I said before DVD-Audio is at a big danger from DualDisc.
If you dig Simple Plan you by the disc.Normal people look for the artist name and album title.
They don't buy dsd or advanced resolution logo's.
.
That is why I want to know if it has high resolution, that way I know which version to buy.I don't know who Simply Plan is but say for instance Chris Isaak's Heart Shaped World, which I own of regular CD came out on DualDisc and there is no mention of a high resolution soundtrack. And I took it home and it's just a regular CD like the one I already have this would be a total rip-off. That is why it is important to let the customer know what they are getting!
Just ask the stores sales person to show the discs contents. If it's hires there is a logo 'adavanced resolution' or DVD Audio on the cover or in the inlay booklet.Since you are able to participate in forums you can also find out about a release through forums and offical websites.
Mp3 trailers at web retailers like cdnow.com can give you an idea about the music on the album.
"Just ask the stores sales person to show the discs contents. If it's hires there is a logo 'adavanced resolution' or DVD Audio on the cover or in the inlay booklet."
Simple Plan's 16 bit 88.2ks is not 'advanced resolution'. Perhaps that's why there are no hires logo's on the cover.Now for the simple part.
If it doesn't show a logo then don't buy.Some of the disc produced for the test early this year had logo's to indicate hires content.
If that's the case, all of the 24/48 DVD-As/DualDiscs definitely aren't.
A doubling of the sample rate doubles the frequency range.

I was pointing out the error in your assertion, but as usual it went right over your head.
No, 24 Bit 48kHz is low resolution, you have less ambiance and a MUCH courser sound at 48kHz than you do a 96kHz. And the smoothest most relaxed sound of all is at 192kHz. Sampling frequency is just as important as bit depth. All you have to do is listen to the difference between the three.Resolution is in the bits and the Sampling Frequency. The minimum for high resolution is 88.2kHz 24 Bit, anything lower is too compromised.
"A doubling of the sample rate doubles the frequency range.
Only half correct it also doubles the amount of samples per second, twice as many samples per second equals twice the resolution.
*** Simple Plan's 16 bit 88.2ks is not 'advanced resolution'. ***If you look at Warner's "Missy Elliot: miss E ... so addictive", the back cover says "Advanced Resolution Stereo" in addition to Advanced Resolution surround and Dolby Digital.
The "Advanced Resolution Stereo" is a 44.1kHz 16bit track.
So if 44.1/16 qualifies as "advanced resolution stereo" then i would suggest so does 88.2/16.

check out the disc specs yourself (after all, you claimed that you own "nearly all" the warner titles, so you must have this in your collection).
So I must be smarter. :)If this disc release is youre 'proof' to you I fear the worst.
