With DVD-Audio, that format is now available. The musical realism provided by DVD-Audio is nothing less than astonishing.""Eggers continued: ""Every nuance of the original performance can be heard-from the most subtle details of vocal inflections, plucked and bowed strings and cymbal strikes, to the ambience of a concert hall or recording venue, with its natural harmonics and hall reflections. Each is conveyed with the incredible realism, warmth, and detail of a high quality DVD-Audio recording. As a result, the listener becomes more emotionally involved in the music than ever before.""Toshiba SD5700 and SD4800 DVD-Audio/Video players deliver six-channel DVD-Audio playback via their six-channel analog outputs. Both also decode high-resolution two-channel DVD-Audio. The portable SD-P2000 player offers two-channel playback of DVD-Audio via its analog audio outputs, or through its two headphone jacks.To take full advantage of the benefits of the DVD-Audio format, Toshiba DVD-Video/Audio players incorporate 24-bit/192 kHz DACs from Analog Devices, specially-selected components in the audio signal path, and additional refinements on selected models. Eggers concluded, ""DVD-Audio restores value to the musical entertainment experience, providing consumers with a state-of-the-art medium that offers genuine pride of ownership, along with the assurance of knowing they will enjoy the highest level of audio reproduction ever attained from a home entertainment audio format.""For more information about Toshiba America Consumer Products, Inc., visit www.tacp.com.
