MLP Lossless

MLP Lossless™, licensed by Dolby Laboratories, is the core technology of Advanced Resolution® multichannel and stereo DVD-Audio. MLP 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 is bit for bit identical to the studio master. Nothing is lost during the encoding and decoding process.

Widely recognized as the successor to the compact disc, DVD-Audio makes your home audio system sound like a live musical performance. DVD-Audio combines DVD technology with MLP Lossless coding from Dolby Laboratories to give you music with full 5.1-channel surround sound and fidelity that is dramatically better than that of the CD.

A DVD-Audio player will provide the ultimate listening experience for DVD-Audio discs, but any DVD-Video player can also play DVD-Audio discs.
