DVD-Audio media, thoughts? worth the cost of the media?

I was hoping somebody would think it had some redeeming features, after all if we just want to view media on a technical basis then vinyl should have been dead and buried decades ago.
But obviously it is not because of its other virtues, perceived or otherwise.
Thought there may have been a good reason people are asking so much money for DVD-A media!

Many DVD-A discs contain mixes that are otherwise not available in any other format, typically surround mixes. This is one of the reasons they command high prices. There's also a strong collector/completist issue at play as they were never exactly issued in vast quantities

As a viable storage format worth getting in to forget it, unless you already own a bunch I wouldn't bother. I just sold all mine (only a few dozen) and was pleasantly surprised by what people were prepared to pay

You have to rethink your opinion of LPs however, my 50s era mono recordings still sound way better than the vast majority of current recordings

I do not believe I stated my opinion of vinyl...lol. Apart from that it is an obsolete medium from any technological viewpoint.
Does that mean it is bad? Of course not just an observation.
Do I own vinyl?
Yes lots.....lol.
But do I also appreciate the vast advances in technology since vinyl?
Hell yes!

Vinyl survived because the vast majority of digital transfers were poorly done, records had a clear edge in sound quality. I just prefer to listen to a lot of 60's-70's classical on vinyl, it makes even mediocre recordings listenable but the digital versions of the same records drive me nuts.    

Wish I had some vinyl of that age, probably early 80 to 90 is majority of my collection.
But yes there were a LOT of very poor digital conversions in the early days and yes some are near unlistenable to .
If I see fair priced DVD a I may give one a try just as I have a few sacd discs bought at a fair price.
Might be time for a vinyl night tonight
