Yes BD can be audio only. I know that 2Ls Flute Mystery is audio only with the exception of a banner screen that also allows selection of 2 channel or 5.1 channel DTS-HD formats.

I think I could live without DVD-A in a player to have a piece of gear that would slay the CD market as oppo has done with DVD/BluRay and have BluRay Audio. If DVD-A was absolutely necessary the player could have a basic video section and a composite out so the DVD-A menus could be displayed.

Oooooo. Confirmation of the BDP-95. oppo continues to smoke the competition!
