About the Super Audio CD

Super Audio CD is a new high-quality audio disc standard where music is recorded in the DSD (Direct Stream Digital) format (conventional AUDIO CDs are recorded in the PCM format). The DSD format, using a sampling frequency 64 times higher than that of a conventional AUDIO CD, and with 1-bit quantization, achieves both a wide frequency range and a wide dynamic range across the audible frequency range, and so provides music reproduction extremely faithful to the original sound.

Types of Super Audio CDs

There are two types of discs, depending on the Super Audio CD layer and CD layer combination.

•Super Audio CD layer: A high-density signal layer for Super Audio CD

•CD layer1): A layer that is readable by a conventional CD player
