I do. I only have about 5 or 6 discs, but I do listen to them.

Same here. I have 6 discs and the sound is pretty impressive. However, the DVD-A selections are rather slim.

Ditto. I have 8 discs. I listen to them at home, too, on my home theatre system.

I, too, have 6 discs...some that I also have as regular CDs. The difference between CD/DVD is pretty amazing, especially if you listen to one right after the other.

I have never listened to a DVD-A in my RL, even though I have several. DVD-A and SACD are both dead to me, anyway. People are too fricken interested in their overcompressed, digital music. i used to worry about the format war, but both have shriveled on the vine due to exposure to those of us with iPods.

DVD Audio is great, but the selection is limited. The AIX DVD-Audio discs are particularly good. AIX is the company that gives you the demo disc with the RL.

I herd on a tech program that SACD's and DVD-A's are out of production. As neuronbob mention the format war ended both of their lives. Too bad because they do sound sweet.

I have about 8 DVD-A and DTS formatted CD's. The spaciousness of the sound is what I enjoy the most. Actually the DTS CD's seem a little better to me than the DVD-A's. Seems like a little more separation in the channels.

I probably have somewhere around 30 DVDAudio/DTS's. I made a serious effort to purchase these after buying the RL. They are difficult to find. The sound is much better than the same recordings on regular CD's.

I see someone has posted that no new disks are being offered...I've quit looking for them in brickfronts, although I recently stumbled upon a live Skynard DVDAudio in a Best Buy.

These disks don't do much for back seat passengers, not that anyone ever rides in my back seat...I noticed this when examining the rear shelf area several months ago...
