HDCD
®
(High Defi nition Compatible Digital
®
) is a
patented process for delivering on Compact Disc the
full richness and details of the original microphone
feed.
HDCD encoded CDs sound better because they are
encoded with 20-bits of real musical information as
compared to 16-bits for all other CDs.
HDCD overcomes the limitation of the 16-bit CD
format by using a sophisticated system to encode
the additional four bits onto the CD while remaining
completely compatible with the CD format.
When listening to HDCD recordings, you hear more
dynamic range, a focused 3-D sound stage, and
extremely natural vocal and musical timbre. With
HDCD, you get the body, depth and emotion of the
original performance not a fl at, digital imitation.
