I think this has already been told so but I have undeniable proof that 
there IS and that you CAN make DTS audio CDs. With this file: 
http://www.diatonis.com/downloads/diatonis_dts_tatu.zip from this page: 
http://www.diatonis.com/downloads_dts_ac3.html is what I used. I 
uncompressed the zip file and it turned into a .wav file. I took this 
file I tried playing it with mplayer and with iTunes. mplayer didn't 
play it even with that -rawaudio setting. (I may have something messed 
up so that may be me.) With iTunes all I got was white noise from the 
file. I then set the burning settings to "Audio CD" and burned the 
single .wav file which iTunes could not decode onto a CD-R as an Audio 
CD. I then took that CD down to my DVD player hooked up to a 
decoder/amplifier that has DTS support. It worked just fine. On the FLT 
screen of the dvd player it read "CDDA" and "DTS" and on the amplifier 
it read "DTS". It really is interesting to hear ambient music in 5.1.
