I'm actually not looking for DVD-A discs specs but for possible variations in the capacity of some players with the DVD AUDIO logo not able to access all the features.
I believe DVD AUDIO is essentially a DVD with the AUDIO_TS folder structure and provides up to 192Hz-24bit multi-channel MLP audio, and this depends probably on the DACs used in a specific player.

you're most likely right since DVD-A discs can be read by standard DVD players.
As for players with the DVD-Audio logo not being able to play all the features, I've only ever owned two DVD-Audio capable players so I can only say I've never had any playback issues with either of them with any of the DVD-Audio discs I own. You would think that if Toshiba were to license the tech to any manufacturer that they would ensure full compatibility, but they didn't seem to be so stringent with HD-DVD (with early dual format blu-ray/HD-DVD players not being able to access all HD-DVD features.) So who knows?
