I believe the whole DVD-A (and also the SACD) format was completely discontinued not long after that was released. That's why we'll never see the Tusk DVD-A that Ken Callait finished a few years ago.

The world seems to be just fine with crappy mp3 quality and no longer cares about getting the best sound out of the recording.

Yep, DVD-Audio has gone the way of Beta Video, LaserDiscs & 8-track tapes.

I still enjoy listening to 5.1 mix on my DVD-Audio discs of 'Rumours' and 'Say You Will'.
It's sad that 'Tusk' probably will never be released on DVD-Audio; I expect that the original version of The Purple Dancer will be released on CD sooner!

BTW, I also like to listen to the SACD discs of 'Fillmore East' and 'Eat a Peach' by the Allman Brothers Band, it's what I'm doing right now!
Well, at this moment 'Blue sky' is playing; tonight I finished my 3 favourite SACD discs; 'Layla' was also there...
