ps2 dvd-audio upgrade
« on: October 01, 2001, 03:08:49 PM »
I just wanted to know if there is a way to upgrade the ps2 with dvd audio player.  does sony have any plans for this.  I know dvd audio isn\'t popular now but it probably soon might be.  I mean, like buy a ps2 hdd and hopefully a software to upgrade the dvd audio drive.

Start with this:

"What is DVD-Audio?

DVD-Audio is a format specifically designed to provide the highest possible audio fidelity capable on DVD. The audio fidelity of DVD-Audio far exceeds the quality of conventional CD\'s and audio on DVD-Video.

 DVD-Audio takes advantage of the large storage capacity, speed and flexibility made possible with DVD. DVD-Audio provides for audio in stereo and in multi-channel surround in a wide range of specifications. In addition to audio, a DVD-Audio disk can contain a limited amount of video, which can be used to display text, such as lyrics or notes; or stills such as a photo album. Up to 16 graphic stills can be associated with each track and on-screen displays can be used for lyrics and disc navigation. As an option, a DVD-Audio disc can also include audio tracks recorded in the DVD-Video specification (Dolby Digital and DTS) for compatibility with DVD-Video players."

SACD > DVD-A

Sony made SACD and even though I don\'t like the Sony brand name, it is technically and sonically better than DVD-Audio.  Don\'t expect any of these to be upgraded to the PS2.

it will be a few years before DVD audio or other such technologies become popular enough to warrant inclusion into standard players

Probably for the PS3 though

Oh, the reason I asked this because DVD audio runs in uncompressed data.  Meaning, we\'ll be able to hear DD and DTS 5.1 sound channel in uncompressed mode!  Crystal clear and loud.
DVd video run in compressed mode which still good if done professionally.
