even if you had a sound card that played DVD-Audio, wouldnt you need a drive that reads dvd-a discs? I haven't seen one of those on the market yet.

I also read about this a few weeks ago and I think someone posted it in one of the forums . I think Panasonic is working on a dvd-a drive - but don't quote me on it as the old memory ain't as good as it used to be! I'll have to look around for the info and re-post or post it!

Here's the article from the highfidelityreview site:

According to them it should work with every DVD ROM drive.

Frank, you are really on top of this one. I wonder how long we'll have to wait until we see this thing in the stores?

I will get one ASAP and report !!

I was right about the Panasonic dvd: same page as the Creative Labs, down at the bottom !

Burns all dvd fomats and cdr/w, and reads DVD-A.
I want this one! I'm not to keen on Creatives hardware! I'll wait on this as I have [2] 8 channel sound cards in my system now! But good news for The DVD-A format- !!
