DVD-Audio is an extension of the highly popular DVD format, distinguished by its capability for delivering a new standard of quality previously unavailable in packaged audio media. Disc playback is bit-for-bit identical to studio masters. A highly compelling feature of DVD-Audio is its multichannel (5.1) audio capability, which wraps listener in rich, warm, natural sound. DVD-Audio also includes a host of value-added multimedia features not previously available on compact disc.
