Rex: Thanks for the correction. I had understood that downmixing was a standard option on DVD-As. I'm a bit surprised that it's not.
Mstram: The last numbers I saw suggested that new vinyl was outselling both SACD and DVD-A (and possibly both combined, though I'd have to check that). That's after 3-4 years on the market. Public acceptance has been non-existent outside the audiophile community, which is sadly very small. The music labels are responding rationally to that fact.
