Super Audio CD (SACD) (page 6)

An SACD disc can reproduce sounds that are extremely faithful to the original sound by use of DSD (Direct Stream Digital) technology. This technology utilizes a sampling frequency of 2.8224 MHz, which is

64times that of a conventional CD, and 1-bit quantization that enables the disc to hold 4 times the amount of information that a standard PCM format CD can hold. SACDs

are divided into the following types.

Super Audio CD (single layer disc) This disc consists of a single HD layer*.
