I don't think they are music CDs, but rather DVD-Audio, which supports 
all the varieties a DVD movie also offers: PCM uncompressed (with higher 
bitrates and sample frequencies), MPEG Audio, Dolby Digital and dts.

Never seen a dts-CD-Audio (apart from the cinema ones).

I such a disc is encountered, please watch for the distinction CD/DVD, 
it should be clearly noted what the product is (logo-wise)

The 'do-it-yourself'-instructions are either for burning DVD-(Audio) or 
CD-ROMs with a DVD-Audio layout (but limited capacity). dts-96/24 (which 
is the highest available/supported dts format to date uses around 
3MBit/s (IIRC), which should last for about half an hour of music on a 
CD-ROM. It's not *that* much.
