DVD much higher capacity means less compression. They tried to launch DVD-A around 10 years ago but it was a failure because it needed a dedicated player.

I think DVD audio is a higher bit rate, like 24K whereas its 16K on audio CD, or something like that.

I would say DVD has the better audio normally, but.....
.....there are certain CD's that will match DVD's in audio greatness, I'm referring to those that have DTS audio. I have a few DVD's and CD's that have DTS 96/24 soundtracks placed on them, personally I can't tell the difference. |

Depends if the OP is talking about original material purchased or whether they want to burn music to a disk and are wondering if one medium is better than the other.

If you mean what is the best to buy then either SACD (super audio cd) or DVDA (DVD-Audio) are the best formats but you will need a special player - they won't work in a normal cd or dvd player.
Players are expensive - Sony ones only play sacd so you will probably want a universal player for both sacd and dvda which means Denon, Oppo, or maybe Pioneer. An example denon player: http://www.denon.co.uk/uk/Product/Pa...ctId=DBT1713UD An example Pioneer player: http://www.pioneer.eu/uk/products/42...LX55/page.html The pioneer is about £250. |

I'm on about Realtek HD Audio Manager. On it there's a tab called (Default Format). There's a choice of CD or DVD quality sound. So, which one do I pick? CD or DVD? |

CD or DVD? 16bits/44100 is the standard for audio CD's - 16bits/48000 is the standard for digital video/TV recordings. Try them both but I doubt you will hear a noticeable difference. |
