Introduction

Reality reproduced: Super Audio CD

The future in digital sound reproduction is no longer limited to a close simulation of reality. The new audio standard IS reality! The human ear is no longer capable of distinguishing audible reality from digital reproduction. This Super Audio CD player combines superior sound quality with the possibility of playing almost all existing audio and video formats with a single player.
The Super Audio standard is based on Direct Stream Digital (DSD) technology. This new direct-stream digital format comprises a 1-bit system that has a digital sampling frequency that is 64 times higher than that of conventional audio CD. The results are spectacular: a frequency response of over 50k Hz and a 120dB dynamic range over the entire audible spectrum. Mixed with as many of the original frequencies as possible, the audio information audible for human ears sounds much more natural.

The next standard: hybrid disc

The Super Audio CD is the evolution of the CD that provides ultra-high-quality sound. Additional features, including multi-channel, can be offered. On the high density (HD) Super Audio CD you may have access to separate areas, containing two-channel stereo and multi-channel.
But that is not all! The hybrid version of the SACD guarantees backward compatibility with the installed base of CD and DVD players. In addition to the HD layer, the hybrid disc contains a standard density CD layer with conventional two­channel stereo CD audio information. The two layers are read from the same side of the disc. The HD layer is read by and DVD laser. The bottom reflective layer with conventional CD sound is read by the CD laser through the second, semi­transmissive HD layer.

SACD: reality in sound...and vision

This SACD player will not only surprise you with its superior reproduction of almost all existing audio formats. Connected to your TV, your SACD player presents VCD and DVD-video information as perfect digital studio-quality images with truly 3-dimensional digital multi-channel audio.

Super Audio CD

You will recognize Super Audio CDs by the logo. There are three types of Super Audio CDs: single­layer, dual-layer and hybrid discs. Each type may contain two areas of recorded information: a High Quality Stereo area and a High Quality Multi­channel area. – The single layer disc may contain both
information areas.
– The dual layer disc may contain both
information areas but a double amount of information can be stored on the disc thanks to the second layer.
– The hybrid disc may contain not only both
information areas but also a second, standard CD layer, making it playable on standard CD players.
Recorded information may vary per area. This is indicated in the disc inlay. Areas can be selected separately before or during playback, while playing Super Audio CDs via the remote control or via the On-Screen Display on your TV.
