Much has been said about high definition media, but what is it about ? To summarize, the high in high definition means there is more information to encode the same image or music than with standard definition media like NTSC or PAL TV, CD or DVD-Video discs. More information means more precision to reproduce the original signal, but also more space needed for storage.
High definition media are praised for being visually and audibly more pleasing and lifelike.
 
DVD-Audio has been designed specifically for the reproduction of high definition and surround music. The increased storage space of a DVD-Audio disc can be used for high definition music, surround music (more channels up to 5.1), more tracks compared to CD, or a tradeoff of the previous. DVD-Audio Solo is used typically by our customers for the following cases :

Use Cases

If you have high definition or surround music, either your own, or downloaded from a legal site (e.g. music archive, Linn records, itrax, musicgiants), DVD-Audio is today the most cost effective way to listen to it.

Many of our customers converted their music collections to DVD-Audio to listen in their cars (e.g. Acura) to benefit from increased clarity with upsampling, surround or consolidate on fewer discs.
Many audiophiles appreciate the warmth and sound stage of vinyl records. Most of these qualities would be lost in digitizing to CD quality (16 bit / 44.1 kHz), whereas digitizing to DVD-Audio quality (e.g. 24 bit / 96 kHz) preserves most of them. See here for a practical example.

Extract more from CD collections

DVD-Audio Solo Plus comes with a high quality upsampling algorithm that can upsample CD music to higher resolution such as 24/96 kHz. Although no new information is added, many users reported an improvement in music quality e.g. "more fluid, less harsh and an all round better sound"
