The DVD-Audio pictured is not the same as a DVD-Video. And as far as I know, while Super Audio CD still gets meme releases because of DSD, DVD-Audio basically got insta-killed by Blu-Ray. Any regular old Blu-Ray player can handle whatever crazy hi-res audio you throw on there with minimum 4x the storage capacity. DVD-Audio required special players.

Bluray is jam packed with DRM that make it hard to play your discs on your device of choice.

Why would you not?
If the employed DRM could render your legally purchased discs unplayable, then there is hardly a difference to always-online DRM and streaming left.
BD failed for a reason (and it's NOT PS3). Sony thought the whole thing through too much from the producer side and not from the consumer side.
