Now make you HTPC into a universal dvd-audio player

[gobble]

Just letting folks know - you can now play burn and play DVD-Audio discs for rupees 1300/-

ChannelTimes.com > Business Network > Market News > Sony Launches AD-7220S-ID Optical Drive

If you use a 802.11n/g capable netbook with <3.5mm-jack-co-axial-rca> amp and pull the files over from your PC, one should get audiophile quality with none of the degradations that PCs and their SMPSes give

One of the formats supported by this player is DVD-Audio.

Cheers

Looks good, but I'm pretty sure what they mean by 'DVD-Audio' is just audio files off of a DVD and not true DVD-A. Especially since Sony's SACD was a competing format for high-definition multi-channel audio...

The feature set seems to showcase the dust-proof levels of the drive.

Seems like the term DVD-Audio is being misused quite a bit on many forums. The article authour is causing more confusion by mixing this up with Sony Corp. as they do not support that format at all. I think calling is Audio-DVD is a better way out of this. This means DVDs that have songs on them instead of videos.

Thanks for picking that up. The logo on the drive is not a DVD-audio logo - if you scale it it shows DVD-Multi Recorder with some undecipherable text below on another extrusion.

We need to look for a logo like this:

Yeah, it did not strike me that Sony has put its weight behind SACD ... my bad.

Actually here is the official logo file in PDF DVD FLLC - DVD Logo

The licensing for Multi is here: DVD FLLC - License

The bottom table shows DVD-Audio is not essential for a DVD-MultiDrive writer (typical PC component). Any idea what is a DVD audio/video recorder as compared to DVD-MultiDrive writer?

After some further searching on this official site I found that Sony is one of the contributors to the DVD-Audio test suite besides Matsushita and Pioneer.

Its only 1300/- maybe I will double check with the distie and pick one up to experiment

TIA

It support R & R/W of these formats.
