SANTANA: ABRAXAS , great 5.1 mix!
NOTE: DVD-A's have besides the special DVD-Audio mix (in the folder audio_ts) also a DTS track in the video_ts folder.
So you can play them on any ordinary dvd-player, for SACD you need a special cd-player.
Seems to me that DVD-A has more chance of winning because people don't need to buy a new player but can use the dvd-player they already have.
And dvd-players cost as little as 50 dollars while SACD players are f*ck*n'expensive! :-)

I don't think that BLACK ALBUM is on DVD-a, man...
Dark_Myuutwo: is the Elvis DVD-A any good?
Fenderek - it is
And it's not available in Poland :(
"Dark_Myuutwo: is the Elvis DVD-A any good?"
Well, for sound quality it's pretty good.
I don't have a 5.1 surround sound speaker system (yet), but I have a 5.1 sound card, so I've listened to some individual channels (ie. Surround left, Surround right, Center...), and I can tell you that they rely heavily on the front left and right speakers for vocals, and hardly use the center channel.
For menus and visuals, it sucks, because basically there ARE NO visuals! So it doesn't say anywhere that there's both a 5.1 and a 2.0 DD soundtracks on it!

PG: wow... Didn't know that... Never seen it in UK...:-(
HMV Trafford Centre had it on import. I expect HMV & Tower in London will have it too.
The Elvis Presley 30 #1 hits dvd-audio is 'interesting'.
The first 18 songs on the dvd-a ("A Little Less Conversation" through "Stuck On You") were mixed from the original multi-track tapes and the last 13 ("A Big Hunk O' Love" through "Heartbreak Hotel") were mixed from the original mono master tapes.
So for anyone living "under the belief"
that surround sound = discreet
separation of instruments only and only might just be disappointed with the old songs....
Well I'll go now give 'In The Ghetto'
and 'Suspicious Minds' their 234201910th spin... wow and wow.
