DVD-A thoughts...

@coralkong Actually, I have a number of DVD-A’s, they were all bought on the used market, and in many cases for less than I would have to pay for the equivalent CD! Not many folks have the gear to play DVD-A’s, so this has impacted the price of these discs.
While the disc I mentioned in my OP plays fine on my system, it is playing the surround sound version, even though I do not have a surround set up, or connections. I am wondering if anyone knows how to play the stereo version, which as I mentioned, is mastered differently?

I don’t own a regular CD only player, but I seriously doubt this DVD-A disc would play in one if I did. My player is a Universal unit, meaning it can also play back DVD video to a home theater system. I don’t utilize it this way, as the SACD capability and the standard Redbbook SQ is excellent. 

@katylied   The player I own is a Esoteric DV60. The display seems to indicate that the disc is playing only the surround sound layer. Sounds fine, but I suspect the stereo only layer, mastered by Doug Sax, would sound a lot better. The other DVD-A discs I own all play on the stereo layer only, probably because there is no embedded video layer. I actually prefer the XRCD discs to all of these from a SQ perspective. Nonetheless, the DVD-A's I own were all bought for less $$ than the XRCD's.

Thank you @coralkong. I did look up this in the manual before and tried the "audio button". For some reason with this disc, there was no result. Perhaps the disc is faulty?

@coralkong I think with this particular disc, it is possible that a video screen is required to change the levels. This is the only DVD-A that may require this, but it still sounds fine under the surround sound mastering, better I am sure with the stereo.
