Quote of the Day

“With any acoustic instrument that you record, you have some kind of ambience happening. Any electric instrument, when it’s direct, doesn’t have any ambience at all. So for me the challenge is not to try to simulate the acoustic sound, but to simulate some of the aspects of an acoustic sound.”- bassist Michael Manring

SACD

Short for Super Audio Compact Disc. SACD is a high-resolution consumer digital audio format that uses DSD (Direct Stream Digital) technology. DSD uses a 1-bit 2.8 MHz sampling rate for digital conversion. A hybrid SACD can store the hi-res stereo and 5.1 surround version of an album, as well as the standard 44.1 kHz/16-bit version (which any CD player can play). The SACD spec also makes room for images and video clips. At the high end of hi-res consumer digital audio, SACD competes wth DVD-A.
