In Reply to: DVD-A vs. 5.1 question posted by mitch2 on April 16, 2003 at 20:36:57:
I haven’t come across a single DVD-A yet that didn’t have the DVD-Audio logo printed on the front, so I don’t think they are DVD-A’s. Did the label say “dts 20 Bit/5.1 Channel” ? If so, they are DTS CD’s and will most likely play in your Muse if it supports DTS.BTW, I was not aware that the Muse 9 was DVD-A compatible. I thought only the Muse 10 supported DVD-Audio playback.
Follow Ups:
Yes, I believe that they had “dts 20 Bit/5.1 Channel” on them. I am a little new at the resolution game, so what does that mean in terms of the playback compared to a redbook 16 bit CD (I will only be playing them in 2 channel, not 5.1 channels). As for your question regarding the Muse, the Model 9 Signature plays DVD-Audio as well as standard DVD's, and also sounds great on redbook CD's. What it doesn't do that the Model 10 does is to play CDR's and SACD (although the 10 plays only the std cd layer, not the SACD enhanced layer).

If you're only going to play them back in stereo, steer clear of DTS titles. They're multichannel only, so depending on your player, you're going to get a mixdown or maybe just 2 channels out of the 5 channel mix.
