According to wikipedia DVD-Audio only does 5.1 - it could be wrong

The DVD-Video page claims 8ch PCM support is in the spec, but says

Starts with the interface problems. Today you would use HDMI and USB
for this. Not in any DVD specs...
Yea, though it does hold out some hope that a blu-ray player that does
dvds may support it and send 8xPCM over hdmi to a receiver.
The problem is that you need a receiver which accepts 8xPCM or Dolby
True HD or DTS HD (MA) (BD standards...) via HDMI AND which supports
Ambisonics decoding.
This doesn't exist, according to my best knowledge.
If you have decoded Ambisonics to 8 (or better: 7) channels, there is
obviously no problem. (But then I don't know of what we are talking about.)

P.S.:
Nothing to do with this thread and I am not saying that any players use
it, but I did see the words Ambisonic and WXYZ in the spec, so there is
some provision for carrying and flagging as special b-format in a DTS
extension stream.
Maybe hidden in the TrueHD spec, but Blu-Ray doesn't support anything
like WXYZ. Having worked a bit on disc standards before, and never saw
anything of this...
