Here's yet another reason to take a wait and see approach to hi-rez, as the format and standards issue becomes even more confusing. According to this article, the DVD-A consortium has approved a firewire interface standard:

This will be of no immediate use unless you have a preamp with firewire input (not to mention a DVD player with firewire output), but I do wonder what this means for DVD-A versatility. The article doesn't address the issue, but I suppose this means that the firewire stream could be connected to a computer, provided of course that software exists to decode the signal. (New challenge for hackers!)
I once read on this forum that there is limited support for DVD-A on computers, but have never come ecross any concrete info on the subject.
