StarBeam Studios - FAQ
DVD contains high quality digital video, and in image superiority can beat the long outdated poor performer of the old analogue VHS any day. The audio can also be of hugely superior quality, even better than CD, and can also include a multiple channel soundtrack. Performance of the DVD does do not diminish with use, like a VHS tape does.

How is the sound quality of DVD Video better than that of VHS?

DVD Video Planet - Dvd-video Faq
DVD Video employs a higher sampling rate than even audio CD's, producing fuller, more textured sound. Because DVD audio is recorded and stored digitally, it surpasses VHS in reproducing the "surround" aural experience of the cinema at home.
