Lossless enables producers to encode up to six channels of 96 kHz/24 bit audio,
or two channels of 192 kHz/24 bit audio onto a DVD-Audio disc, resulting in
playback that's bit-for-bit identical to the studio master. MLP Lossless has

Surround Sound Past, Present, and Future (PDF) A history of multichannel audio from mag stripe to Dolby Digital. The first commercially successful multichannel sound formats were developed in the early 1950s for the cinema. At the time, stereophonic sound, a concept new to the public, was heavily promoted along with new wide-screen formats by a film industry feeling threatened by the rapid growth of television.
