DTS-MA or Dolby Tru-HD... lossless PCM? That'd be great thanks! Blu-Ray could be a TREMENDOUS format for audio releases... this is probably just a dream though. I'd love to listen to hi-fi recordings on blu-ray. Seems to be more practical than SACD (dsd issues, expensive players) or DVD-A (dead format)

Listen should be the key word. It's about the music. Can't say how much more practical Blu-Ray is than SACD. Expensive Blu-Ray players, more expensive discs, sounds like the same song.
I have never heard a TrueHD, DTS-Master audio or Dolby TrueHD music cd...anybody? So how would I know it's more practical or even better than SACD?
DSD issues have been player related. You can buy amplifiers that support DSD via HDMI now (Yamaha RX-V663 for instance). Best deal on A DSD capable player..OPPO 980H DSD via HDMI $170.
So the only thing we are really missing is a Blu_Ray player that does what the OPPO 980H does plus the Blu-Ray side of it. Somebody needs to build me one of these so I can actually compare all the all the HD audio formats to SACD.
Know of any Artists that have a disc in all these formats?
