Hey I still have a Laserdisc player, and about 40 discs, many DTS titles
that are either not on DVD at all, or only have the half-bitrate DTS tracks.
They still rock!
I also have a Pioneer DVD player that supports SACD and DVD-Audio, they
sound fantastic (and my favourite band, Depeche Mode, have had all their
albums remastered in SACD 5.1 sound).
