DP now come bundled with a trial version of the Discwelder Bronze DVD-Audio authoring package. What's more, current DP users are not excluded from the deal, as they can download the trial version of Discwelder Bronze from www.motu.com. As a surround format, DVD-Audio can deliver 5.1 mixes at 48kHz/24-bit, but can also support high-resolution stereo recordings — up to 192kHz, 24-bit, in fact.
