Cirlinca Launches $35 DVD-Audio Authoring for Consumers


Cirlinca has announced DVD-Audio Solo, a $35 DVD-Audio authoring application
for the PC. The move sees the innovative software developer introduce a
DVD-Audio creation package at a consumer-friendly price.

 With DVD-Audio Solo, burning a DVD-Audio disc can be as easy as five clicks
­ explore for audio files, drag and drop, click to burn. Anticipating most
users¹ needs, DVD-Audio Solo can import audio tracks not only from PC disk
files but also from the built-in sound card recording or CD extractor. Savvy
users will also appreciate the pro-quality upsampling, the multi-channel
import capabilities up to six channels, the still video support and the
high-resolution sampling rates up to 196kHz 24-bits. But beyond the advanced
yet unobtrusive technology, audiophiles and neophytes alike find the
remarkable quality and presence of high-resolution multi-channel audio
highly compelling.
