I've ordered the forthcoming and an older NIN dualdiscs. And reading about DVD-A in the other thread has me really interested in this.

But.... how do I play these back in 5.1? My only DVD player is in my computer, which I mainly listen to using headphones. My only audio output is an old Technics amp with two old wood cabinet speakers.

Will I really need an entire stereo overhaul to get into DVD-A? Or can I get some software to play them through my DVDR drive into my headphones? Or is piping DVD-A through headphones a mortal sin? But they're good headphones!
