I recommend buying audio DVD player

Some no-name DVD and Blu-ray players have undocumented support for DVD Audio. I have a a "Seiki" Blu-ray player (which can also be easily made region-free for DVD and Blu-ray) which will play my one real DVD Audio disc. Norcent DP-300 (DVD, region-free) played a homemade DVD-Audio disc (never tried with a real DVD Audio disc). My Sony Blu-ray BDP-S3700 will not play DVD Audio (it sees the empty VIDEO_TS folder and exits back to the "home screen").
I'd suggest taking a DVD Audio disc to thrift stores (or wherever you shop for used DVD/BD players) and see if it'll play. Don't overlook the portable DVD players; they'd let you see the disc menu without needing to hook up to a TV.
