Hey all-
seems like recordable DVD has been getting pretty popular these days, and expecially good for us now that the new Minnetonka DVD-audio burning program is available relatively cheaply. I have been thinking about making the plunge but I listen to a LOT of music in my car. Are there any head units that will play DVD-audio discs? If so, have any of you tried them, and what did you think about the sound quality?
Take care,
Ben

ill take one too.

several manufacturers are making them. i've seen a kenwood dvd-a unit in person. very cool, but i don't need a video screen (which also more than doubles the price)
simple dvd-audio only would be nice
-
Anyone heard of Innovatek?
I've been looking around and this one looks really nice and cheap.

it doesn't support DVD-A

Maybe thats why it's so cheap.
I don't care about DVD-A. I'll burn DVD-V discs.
The other consideration is that I want to put a hires headunit in my garage queen and one of those boy-racer neon faceplates looks a little too pimp for the car. That thing is a perfect match. I just don't know if they are any good.

I've seen the Kenwood deck as well. I took WSP 12/31/03 on DVD-A in to listen and was really impressed. The guys at the store were even more impressed that somebody could make a recording that good(Hubert's source) with only a bookbag full of gear.
-
Are the any other DVD-A capable units in sight?
Judging by the 'commercial' DVD-A (& SACD) market, demand for more DVD-A units doesn't show signs of growing.
The price is coming down, but the Kenwood Excelon KVT-915DVD is quite a monstrosity.

I just bought a new (2012) car that has a stock DVD-Audio player.
I've never burned DVD-A discs. Can you use a DVD-R burner and Logic (for example)?
edit) not sure it matters too much as I tested a 24 bit ALAC file via the USB drive and it played ok. Flac was not recognized however.

I'm not seeing anything on that player that indicates that it plays dvda
-
My bad......I was looking at the pic above your post.......never mind.

A standard computer DVD burner works, you just need DVD-A capable authoring software to drive it.
Samplitude does it natively from within the application if you use that or have a copy of it. There are paid and freeware DVD-A burner apps that will just to the authoring part, but support for DVD-A may be on the wane with some of them.
