Nearly all DVD audio is 5.1 channel Dolby Digital which isn't very lossy, or 5.1 DTS which is even less lossy. Neither digital format degrades noticeably over it's life. That and the fact that you have 6 or more discreet sound channels vs. just 2 makes the comparison to analog tape ridiculous.

Oh, yeah, blank VHS tapes never got as cheap as blank DVDs. ]]>Aug 25th 2008 4:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/25/panasonic-intros-dmr-br360v-blu-ray-vhs-combo-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/25/panasonic-intros-dmr-br360v-blu-ray-vhs-combo-player/

What I was trying to illustrate was that even the stereo tracks on nearly every DVD are heavily data-reduced (ie. compressed) versus the (yes, analogue! oh noess) great audio quality of a hi-fi VHS vcr.

Not talking about anything else. No HDMI, nothing else.
Just giving credit where it's due.
VHS VCRs with a decent tape make some of the best-sounding 'consumer' analogue tape machines.
Digital or analogue is irrelevant. Most of the CDs you listen to were recorded and/or mixed on analogue tapes with higher fidelity than the CD format.
