this is one subject not heard of lately. What's everyones opinions on DVD Audio? I think it sounds great, but the DVD's are hard to find.

on the disc Acura gave with the car, there's a lady singing "What's New" . . . and it really sounds like the singer from the movie Ghost Ship. :devil:

 

Regardless of the ability to play DVD-A's, I think this is one of the best stock stereo systems I've heard and lightyears better than my Saab 9-3 stereo and my previous Eclipse GS-T's stereo.

So, I'm quite pleased with the sound even without the cool DVD audio discs playing.

 

The woman that's singing "Whats New" is Linda Rondstadt

 

Actually, DVDEMPIRE.com has the biggest selection I have found.

The stereo in general is good but on their scale of 0-40 (40 being the max volume) it should probably go to about 50 (20% louder). On the highway with windows down you can hear it at 35+ but I wouldn't say I can really "jam" to something as loud as I wish I could.

 

I have heard the reason the system wasn't designed to go louder is because Elliot Scheiner wanted to design a precision sound system that would accurately reporduce a studio experience. The human ear begins to distort sound at louder decibels and you do not hear certain wavelengths because of the big "roar"

 

Linda Rondstatt? wow! But the women in the movie is better lookin

 

Back when I was younger we were happy with things that went to 11.

I was just in a co-workers's brand new Chrysler 300C (yes, Hemi), and WHOA, it's only CD, but indash 6disc and blows the TL to SHREDS. The clarity, the treble, the purity of the sub. 2 words.. HOLY CRAP. Made my TL sound like the stock system in my 98 Accord.

 

I love the sound from them. I just wish the selection of DVD Audio albums was a lot bigger.
I bought all the albums I remotely like that were available in DVD Audio, and I still have one slot left in the 6-disc changer.
