CDs play on two 16 bit 44.1 kHz channels and work on both DVD and CD players.
DVD audio (DVD-A) requires a DVD player to work. It uses higher sample rates - up to 24 bit 192 kHz with stereo, but generally uses 24 bit 96 kHz - and can work on anything ranging from mono to 5.1 channels. That is not DVD-V.
The difference is in terms of audio quality since the DVD-Audio format has 7 times more storage capacity then a regular CD-Audio.
This means that you can actually hear the audio content on a DVD-Audio the best possible way ever since both the sample rate (192kHz) and the bit depth resolution (24bps) are higher then a regular CD-Audio (44.1kHz, 16bps) and would actually exceed the human hearing capability.

How does DVD audio differ from CD audio?
DVD-Audio is a digital format for delivering high-fidelity audio content on a DVD. It is not intended to be a video delivery format and is not the same as video DVDs containing concert films or music videos. It offers many possible configurations of audio channels with far higher audio quality.So DVD-Audio has much more functions than CD audio.DVD audio recordings can provide far better sound quality than CDs. The chart below lists the sampling rate and accuracy for CD recordings and the maximum sampling rate and accuracy for DVD recordings. CDs can hold 74 minutes of music. DVD audio discs can hold 74 minutes of music at their highest quality level, 192kHz/24-bit audio. By lowering either the sampling rate or the accuracy, DVDs can be made to hold more music. A DVD audio disc can store up to two hours of 6-channel, better than CD quality, 96kHz/24-bit music. Lower the specifications further, and a DVD audio disc can hold almost seven hours of CD-quality audio.In an audio CD or DVD, each bit represents a digital command telling the DAC what voltage level to output. While an ideal recording would follow the raw waveform exactly, digital recordings sample the sound at different frequencies, and therefore lose some of the data.
What is the difference between a DVD and CD?
AnswerData on a CD is written is form of small dots. A laser is used in CD drive to read data from CD. The light reflected because of the dots on the CD is translated to 1's and 0's. The difference between a DVD and CD is that DVD uses a more concentrated laser beam. This allows it to read very very small dots. Because the size of the dots is reduced we can save more data on DVD. Beyond little microdots, the big difference between DVD's and CD's is storage Capacity. CD's (compact discs) can hold between 640 - 700 MB's (megabytes) of information on a single disc. DVD's (Digital Video Discs) can hold 4.7 GB (gigabytes) of information on a single layer disc, and 8.5 GB on a dual layer disc.Beyond that, CD's hit the consumer market in 1983, and used a laser to read the media (disc) instead of magnetic technology. The standard amount of audio (time) on a CD with CDA sound files (compact disc audio) was approximately 72 minutes. Today, MP3 music files are about 1/10th the size of CDA audio. ***This unofficially works out to 10 MB per minute of audio with CDA, and 1 MB per minute of audio with MP3.***Beyond all those specifications, there is an old technology called Laser Disc, which was almost the same size as an LP (the big ones) record, but also used laser. Based on the the technology that would bring us CD's, the laser disc provided more data storage than a typical CD due to more surface area to write to. This technology was short-lived vs VHS due to the high cost. Even though the discs themselves were cheaper to produce, the equipment required to play cost significantly more than equivalent VHS players.In the future, HD DVD and Blue Ray technology will rerevolutionize laser technology. Future High Definition Television programs will be shown in 720p, 1080i or 1080p. These video qualities make watching Television as though it's photographic quality instead of dithered like current 480i. The capacity for HD DVD is about 35 GB's per dual layer disc, and Blue Ray is about 45-50 GB's per disc (unofficial specifications from respective Mfrs.)
What is the difference in CD music and CD-R?
Digital Audio CD-Rs are made specifically for home audio cd recording systems. Most home audio systems have "standalone" CD recorders, not attached to a computer, and they require a CD-R that is made specifically for Digital Audio recorders. Some manufacturers also call them Music Only CD-R or Audio CD-R. These CD-Rs are Digital Audio recorders approved and will work in standalone CD recorders. A Digital Audio CD-R uses a SCMS copy-protection flag in the sub-code section of the CD-R. SCMS is the acronym for Serial Copy Management System. Home audio standalone CD recorders are designed to look for the SCMS flag in the sub-code section before allowing the unit to record. If there is no SCMS flag the recorder will not allow recording and the CD-R will be rejected. If a CD-R is labeled Digital Audio CD-R it has the SCMS flag and will therefore work in standalone home audio CD recorders

Once you have captured the audio, you can save the files directly to a CD or DVD or use a CD writing program to create an audio CD.
What is different between DVD and CD?
They use the same technology and disc size. They differ in how dense the tracks are printed onto the disc and the format. The recorder and players have to have different lasers, to be able to read the data. DVD players are backward compatible with CDs.
