I have to say I picked up the DVD-A Yutaka Sado conducting Chabrier & Ravel disk, but I don't have a DVD-A player.
In DD 5.1 it sounds fantastic. Huge soundstage without gimmicks, the rears are used only for reverb stuff. Its a sure jaw dropping reference disk. Besides I really like the gimmicky stoner effects.
However, on my DVD-V player I CANNOT PAUSE, FAST FORWARD, OR REWIND any tracks. I cannot reach any of the addition content (video/interviews). That sucks, especially 'cause the last 2-3 minutes of "Bolero" is killer demo material, but i have to WAIT 12 minutes to get there.
DVD-A pratical? No. Cool? Yes. Will it ever be mainstream? No.
