mAC3dec is not just a 'Classic' application. Version 1.6.3 runs on Mac
OS 8.6-9.2.2 and OS X, but, as I have now discovered, only up to 10.5.8.
There seems never to have been an Intel version. Sorry, I should have
checked more closely before posting.

It appears that the file may actually be a classic Mac application
because the Sourceforge link goes to a .sit.hqx file 8-0
You may be able to extract it with ffmpeg
http://www.savvyadmin.com/extract-ac3-dolby-digital-with-ffmpeg/
pre-compiled mac versions are available here http://www.ffmpegmac.net
and there are a couple gui frontends: http://www.iffmpeg.com (looks like
it may be commercial, or at least shareware)
http://datura.sourceforge.net and https://www.ffmpegx.com both open
source, and possibly this which appears to be some sort of AV super
toolkit http://www.selur.de
I do know I've used ffmpegx in the past to convert audio and video files
from one to another.

Dolby Digital AC-3 and DTS Surround Sound, and that it plays on all
DVD-Audio and DVD-Video players. Am I out of luck?
Thanks! Bill

DVD-Audio (aka DVD-A) is a high fidelity audio format that competed with
SACD. Both are pretty much dead audio formats (have been for about 10
years now). DVD-A doesn't have video. It is audio only. It may be
recorded at 24 bits per sample at a bit rate as high as 192 khz, though
96 is more common. DVD-A recordings may be in 5.1 surround. The only way
to hear the full quality of this recording is to play with a DVD-A
player. You can play these discs in a regular DVD player if they have a
separate track that plays in the standard DTS 5.1 format that your
movies have. This forum post may be helpful.

Hi there: I have a commercial recording of some music, which was issued
as DVD-audio rather than CD-audio. There’s video material included,
which I guess accounts for that. My question is this: I want to export
the audio so that I can store it in iTunes, but I have no idea how to do
so. (DVD Player is the app that launches automatically when I insert the
disc.) Is there a reasonably simple way to do so?
As always, my thanks in advance!

Use Google translate. Basically try using VLC to access the high def audio
files. Playing it on a DVD video player won't output the full quality, but
you may not notice unless you have excellent hearing and very expensive
speakers.
