Grain-Thanks for your interest-Im sure there are better players than mine but I bought as entry level DVDA player (for $62 )Vanns-Montana-because I have enjoyed multichannel-surround 5.1 audio and Ac3-DTS require digital feed to amp-PLUS they are both lossy formats--My system is dedicated pure analog for personal preference(to run all my equipment)
DVDA is perfect for my needs and this player supports
DVD,DVDA,Dolby Digial 5.1,DTS,SACD,CD,WMA,MP3, & Jpeg picture slide show,I might have missed something but for 62$ not too shabby-and believe me -DVDA puts all the other formats to shame, even using DD PLII decoder-especially on a few of my authored disk at 5.1 24bit 96,000Hz LPCM--DVDA also is very much improved & different than DD on a DVD movie-even on my cheapo player-so back to my question -is there a difference in recording DVDA?-Ive read many post regarding superior Burns using Gear Master Pro Mastering for compiled DVDA disk--and this program has a special setting for DVDA--I dont know why? thats why I ask-Yes- ingburn worked great for me-but Im still learning and hoped a master like Lightening could assist in my quest for knowledge---- and perfection-thanks
