I'd like to add my comments on the larger question - the quality of DVD-A compared to CD (or even LP).
A few months ago, I had a chance to hear a comparison of Queen on DVD-A, CD and LP. I was never a devotee of Queen - I never liked their sound; but when a friend played one of their DVD-As (without telling me the group's name) I was blown away with the clarity and richness of what I heard and shocked to hear that it was Queen. I heard sounds that I never recalled hearing on the LP or CD - crystal clear. Not only did I become a (belated) Queen fan that day, but a devotee to DVD-A (and SACD as well).
Since then I have heard the Eagles on DVD-A and you would be surprised on how much better they sound. Unlike Queen, I have always been a hard-core fan of the Eagles. Listening to "Hotel California" is truly a significant emotional experience and blows away the CD recording. Take the plundge and buy it - you won't regret it - except for the higher electricity bills due to your increased home theater system use!
