So it'll play DVD-Audio disks as well as DTS/DD?

When did The Game come out on DVD-A? Another one to add to my wish list!

QS and not SQ? Huh, I have a columbia demo record that has Black Magic
Woman in SQ but it just doesn't compair to the Q8, at least through my
crappy decoders.

You know, I really hate to say it, but when I started to get into quad
stuff, you couldn't find anything new that wasn't just 2 channel, and I
longed to get a quad reel recorder so I could hear some of those hard to
find quad albums. Well, now I have a quad reel, two actually, and they
don't see much use, I listen to DTS CDs and a few DVD-As and have been
thinking about getting another DVD-A player (not very seriously though).
I never thought I'd see a day when I could get a "quad" reciever, CD/DVD
player, and a bunch of media all from the local electronic store.
