That's totally true. My dad has a surround system out in the States, and last christmas, I bought him an Elton John DVD. I sat on the floor in the middle (the rear speakers are level with the chairs - not brilliant but best I could set it up given the room layout), and was impressed how realistic it was. The music came from the front, the cheering came from the back, it really felt like a concert.

I think though, if you aren't going to take advantage of surround sound, then DVD audio would be a waste. With a halfway decent amp regular, or even old CDs sound more than good enough.
