At this point, new standards and recommended practices are emerging from the Audio Engineering Society and Committee for Preservation and Access or whatever it's called now. I expect these will make their way shortly into requirements by the various funding sources including the major foundations. Many will probably require require the Broadcast WAV file so metadata accompanies the audio and 24/96 or 24/192 recording ability. Sound processed to these requirements require storage media that are not only capale of holding this data but also be close enough to a standard format to allow it to be played back worldwide in the future. I'm not seing much on this issue, but the implication is that DVD will be at least one of the suggested target media. As you are assembling a new system, you should be aware of all this and how it affects your choices.
