Super Audio CD (SACD)
SACD is a next generation music format that provides more natural, ultra-high quality reproduction of both stereo and multi-channel music.
SACD specifications allow a hybrid disc with high-density DSD information on one layer and CD-quality information on another layer, allowing you to play hybrid discs in both an SACD player and a conventional CD player.
SACD format is based on DSD (Direct Stream Digital) technology which uses a 1-bit data stream with a sampling frequency 64 times higher than a CD.
SACD offers high frequency response to 100 kHz and a dynamic range of 120 dB throughout the audible range.
Conventional CDs are limited to a high frequency limit of 22.05 kHz (1/5 that of the SACD) with a maximum dynamic range of 96 dB.
