Zep have already released a disc on DVDA -I don't know if this means they'll stick with DVDA.
DSOM on SACD was a wash out for me too-the biggest strength of this release apparently was the multi-channel mix.
I don't want to get caught up on the SACD/Redbook controversy again but even pro-SACD Audiogoners have found the odd hybrid better on the Redbook layer with older recordings.
Also there are those who do not rate SACD unless the disc was recorded in DSD and obviously these old rock masters weren't.
I suppose you shouldn't underestimate the effect some more major SACD releases would bring but it is a contentous area as to how good these releases actually are.
