Here is my thought though it will sound much like I said above. Not all DVD-A discs were authored using MLP files. Some are your typical DD/DTS in AOB containers. That doesn't mean they aren't 'high res'. They just aren't the same as a proper DVD-A. There are a couple possibilities. In the Oppo for example with DVD-As you get the choice in the set up menu to play that DVD-A as a typical DVD or as a DVD-A. Thus when you put a proper DVD-A that has no DD/DTS files or if you put it into a player that is set up to ONLY play the DVD portion of the DVD-A disc you will get results that sound similar to what you are experiencing. Since you can play these on a regular DVD player this would be my guess. Check into the menu portion of your player and see if it gives you any options with DVDs. The Oppo I know does. I can make it completely ignore DVD-A discs though it is a universal player. I can accomplish this in the menu. On some players the missing MLP info could force the player into thinking it has a regular DVD. In the case of your DVD-A player it could be some kind of bug that prevents it from seeing the disc properly or it could be that it is not set up correctly. I would refer to your manual or make a call to the company. But you would want to be certain what IS in those AOB files before you draw any conclusions. You can do this with DVDAudioextractor (I think that's what it's called). It will examine the disc and determine what files are on it before it asks you to choose the one you want. You can then see if there are only DD/DTS files on there and in what resolution but you can also see if there are MLP files on there and in what resolution and number of channels are present as well. Thus you'll have armed yourself with all the pertinent information before you call customer service.

I think there are two possibilities:
a) files in the AUDIO folder are not arranged correctly (I think not
only their sequence but even their position on the disk is important -
it is very different from DVD-video, and not many disk burning
programs, if any, are capable of working with DVD-Audio)
b) Disk is not recognized as DVD-Audio because the player may expect a
specific type of disk as DVD-Audio. Some players recognize only DVD+R
recorded as DVD-ROM (you have to properly set bitsetting in your
recording program to distinguish DVD-ROM from DVD+R) as DVD-Audio.
Please note that DVD-R discs do not support DVD-ROM format.
