Phil, Things may be different for the Pet Sounds DVD-Audio disc you have in the UK but the disc I have is DVD-Audio on one side and DVD on the other. DVD Audio Extractor will be able to extract everything on the DVD side of the disc and any non MLP encoded/secured tracks on the DVD-Audio side. Think of the difference between DVD and DVD-Audio discs and the ability to extract tracks from them this way; DVD-Audio Explorer; can extract MLP encoded/secured information (only DVD-Audio discs use MLP). DVD Audio Extractor; can extract DTS, DD and PCM encoded information from DVDs and from DVD-Audio disc tracks that are not MLP encoded/secured. Some DVD-Audio discs have all of their tracks (surround and 2 channel) encoded/secured with MLP (e.g. Fleetwood Mac - Rumors http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?p=413598&highlight=fleetwood#post413598) so you will need DVD-Audio Explorer for those discs even though you are primarily interested in extracting the high resolution 2 channel tracks.

Extracting a DTS, or Dolby Digital, track and playing back on a SB system is well documented in this comprehensive thread http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19260 I can't comment on the quality of the recordings you mention. A special mention to user smst http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?u=752, who did the heavy lifting to get DTS and DD tracks to work on SB with 5.1 surround setups.
