Warrenh, I never realized you were such a virgin. :)

DVD-A is an alternate high resolution format to SACD. Buy the Fagan disc and play it. The rest will be self explanatory.

DVD-A is a separate format entirely. DVD-A is to DVD like SACD is to CD. (as far as formats go) DVD-A is multi channel audio, mostly.

Warren:

For starters try ... Mark O Connor's "In Full Swing" (Columbia); Blood Sweat & Tears' "Blood Sweat & Tears" (2nd Album; Columbia) Santana "Abraxas" (Columbia); Rene Jacobs "Le Nozze di Figaro" (Harmonia Mundi); and Andrew Lawrence King "Missa Mexicana (Harmonia Mundi).
