DVD-Audio media, thoughts? worth the cost of the media?


So I know that DVD-A is basically a "dead" media already but I am still interested in giving it a shot possibly.
Started looking at various titles and it seems that anything half decent is at least $50 and up to $200!
Anybody here has first hand experience with this media? Used it, abused it etc.
Would prefer to hear from people who have given it a try or are using DVD-A before I shell out some serious coin!
For example am I likely to hear a significant difference between a DVD-A and a SACD?
I think my system is revealing enough to tell ( I HOPE!)
Thank you in advance

uberwaltz-

IMO, DVD-A has a unique opportunity that the music companies did not capitalize (no pun) upon compared to the SACD. I think that DVD-A got lost in the shuffle w/ regular DVD, Blu-Ray, HD-DVD...etc.

Too many choices left the buying public confused. ThenĀ  there came the many spinners, hardware, to play these discs. I have a few in my collection of the titles that I wanted. All are out-of-print (OOP) and really increased in value. Most discs are 24/48 or 24/96 resolution wise. Like most SACD titles they can play stereo or multi-channel for surround sound systems.
