An audiophile DVD burner ??

I am looking to archive music files on DVD's but I have not been completely satisfied with the playback sound quality coming from burned DVD's. I have Pioneer and Samsung burners but both have their shortcomings in the sound quality department (at least not up to the crispness I can get from my best CD burner). So, is there any DVD burner on the market that produces nice crisp, dimensional sound? Please don't try to tell me that all burners sound alike, because I know they don't (I can hear differences between every one of them, though sometimes it's subtle). How are LG, Philips, LiteOn, Asus burners? And are Plextor's really worth the premium price?

Are you testing the quality of your burns, media can surely be a factor.
I have a Plextor 712A but it's IDE.  It's been sitting idle for years.  Last time I connected it via usb converter, it failed to read any discs so I guess it's dead.  I have new plextor, samsung, LG, Lite-ON..  I just try to find the best media for each drive.  Using a Dell XPS Tower.  I can make DVD-Audio, DVD-Video ( with 24/96 music files ).  I use HD-Audio Solo software.  At this point, just putting the files on a USB media stick. 
I have multiple players now which accept usb media so the days of burning DVD-A and V might be over.....

Does the sound quality have anything to do with dvd burning software?
