What is an SACD?
An SACD, Super Audio CD, is a new technology that offers the highest quality sound available. The SACD format allows for depth never heard before in recorded music. This improved sound quality is due to the fact that standard CD’s are filtered during recording and playback. An SACD is true to the original recording because it records the original signal without filters, thereby maintaining the integrity of the original recording. The decibel range for an SACD is 120dB versus 96dB on a regular CD. Since SACD is a hybrid, it can be played in a SACD player as well as a standard CD player. For music lovers, this top quality sound, as well as the ability to use current and future technology, makes SACD hybrids a must have.
