SACD stands for Super Audio CD. These discs use an advanced process of sound recording and reproduction that enables a much more direct signal path and much higher sampling rate than the format of original CDs. As a result, SACDs produce a more faithful reproduction of the original source material and richer, warmer sound. DVD-Audio is a music-oriented DVD format which devotes virtually all of a DVD disc’s large data capacity to just audio. A DVD-Audio disc can hold up to 6 channels of 96kHz/24-bit audio (music for 5.1-channel home theater systems), or 2 channels of ultra high-resolution 192kHz/24-bit audio. See our article on SACD and DVD-Audio for more information.
