DVD-Audio compatibility would defintely be on my requirements list. While disks may currently be a bit limited to demo material and about 20 titles from Warner, the format really has potential.
The last 2 days I listened to various stereo tracks recorded @192Khz,24bit and some multichannel 96Khz material while reviewing the Technics DVD-A10 for hifi plaza.
I never experienced this liveness with any other surround format. The DVD-A format also sends a lot more information to the surround speakers, so if you're already investing in a decent speaker setup for your HT, I would consider DVD-A.
