If you really must have 1:1 audio, there's always the lossless codecs -
FLAC, BONC etc. Although audiophiles seem to be unnecessarily wary of data
compression - AFIK SACD/DVD-A formats don't even employ lossless data
compression.


Actually both SACD and DVD-A do employ lossless compression, DST for SACD
and
MLP for DVD-A.
