I started archiving from vinyl to 16/44 CD. Apple Lossless came along, and I switched to hard disc archiving in that format on a G4 Powerbook with a Lacie external drive for additional capacity. Maintaining playlists on the laptop, and dropping them selectively to an iPod, or burning a CD for the car, means that approach provides a lot of convenient secondary listening as well as the archive.
My wife does a lot of video stuff and, as a result, we have equipment around which would handle DVD-A playback though it isn't in the main system. Your earlier post regarding home brewed DVD-A has peaked some interest, but so far laziness and the notion that something better may be on the horizon has kept me from experimenting with that alternative.
