There are high-end DVD-A players.  Meridian makes them and I bought one
about a year ago primarily because I needed a great CD player which
played DVD's.  DVD-A was a pleasant extra.  And one might note that DVD-A
disks will deliver quite fine sound on any DVD player.  Now there aren't
that many titles but I've even found some at Berkshire!!!  (Naxos)
