Yes, but how is the audio on the CD side?  I was ready to smash my copy of
the "Dark Side of the Moon" CD/DVD-A when I discovered that its CD side
has 4 dB of additional limiting/clipping.  Both the original LP and the
1994 CD release clearly sound better.

And unfortunately, high-resolution multichannel audio discs are dead in
the consumer marketplace.  Music is no longer foreground entertainment. 
People want something they can easily "rip" onto their computer and load
onto their iPod.  With SACD this is impossible, and with DVD-Audio you
have to be a computer geek and use illegal software to do it.

Sad to say, Madonna's QSound album was the closest the American population
ever came to having multichannel audio media at its fingertips, at least
since the days of Quad.
