Listen to Audio Samples in Stereo!
A word of caution: these samples are strongly compressed versions of either a stereo original or a stereo-downmix of the original 6-channel surround-sound recording taken with uncompressed 24bit resolution and 96kHz sampling frequency. They cannot demonstrate the breathtaking realism and superb quality of the DVD-Audio recording! To get closer to the "real thing" I would recommend listening to these samples with good quality headphones.
