Yes, DVD-Audio has been cracked. SACD, I don't think so, or I have at least not seen any tools for it. That is why there are tools to create DVD-Audio files now - the spec is know as to how it goes together. Good luck finding the tools for SACD because I think every SACD needs to be approved by the spec manufacturer.

I have the tools to rip a DVD-A and convert it to WAV or whatever format I want, but this board is probably not the place to discuss such things.

Well DVD-A wins in my book just because of that!

Just incase you missed my double post as you were answering, who is giving away the DVD-A Dark Side with the purchase of a DVD-A player?

It doesn't come with a player, but is given away freely on the net, with the owner of the master tape wanting any royalties. You cannot buy it.

Oops - I forgot, the Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon is the original Alan Parsons Quad mix, with an LFE channel added, so it is technically 4.1, not 5.1.
