DVD Audio is a music format that is designed to offer better performance on audio CD. The new audio format can be used to provide listeners with Advanced Resolution stereo and / or multi-channel (up to a maximum of six channels) music. To read DVD-Audio discs, players have to be specially designed to support the format. So far, consumer electronics manufacturers have announced a range of DVD Audio players, including bridges, portable players and devices for cars. DVD Audio has a sampling rate up to 192 kHz, compared to a maximum of 44.1 for the CD. It also supports resolutions of up to 24 bits, compared with 16-bit CD.

The idea behind DVD-Audio is that it allows producers to give listeners a reading experience that is much more faithful to the original master recording that has been possible before. DVD Audio discs have a much higher capacity than CD. This extra space can be used to provide audio at the highest possible quality for longer or recordings, or to provide additional documents, such as information on the artist, photos and even videos, which can all be donated display a television screen. Otherwise, DVD-Audio discs currently on the market for the likes of the Warner group of labels have the audio content in both DVD-Audio format and Dolby Digital Surround so they can be played on regular DVD players.

DVD-Audio discs are navigable in the same way as during the video viewed on a DVD player connected to a television set. The user can select the song from a menu on the screen and with an Internet connection, then click the links to websites. These dual format discs are a good way to start the market while DVD Audio players are still relatively rare. The market will also be helped by combined DVD Video and Audio players.
