In anticipation of the upcoming 1.0 DVD-Audio specification (see <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/news/10236/">previous article</A>), <A HREF="http://www.sonic.com/">Sonic Solutions</A> and <A HREF="http://www.warnerbros.com/frame_moz3_day.html">Warner Music Group</A> wasted no time in announcing their intent to collaborate in creating new multichannel high-density recordings to showcase the new format.
