Few DVD-A's because Sony is a music label, and their electronics
brand/division pushed the label side.
Stupid? Because they ha

One comment: There was NO bit-depth truncation (prior to SOX) - 24 bits
were always respected from file through SC-SB-DAC (although some
external DACS would truncate!).
The "DTS" test proves this.
The introduction of SOX addressed high-quality downsampling, it didn't
change the bit-depth handling
Better yet, read this (and the related threads referenced)
