NuPrime
used for the SACD. The signal is stored as delta-sigma modulated digital audio, a sequence of
single-bit values at a sampling rate of 2.8224 MHz (64 times the CD Audio sampling rate
of 44.1 kHz, but only at 1⁄32768 of its 16-bit resolution).
Comparing PCM and DSD
The same music in DSD64 (2.8 MHz sampling rate) format takes up about 20% more storage
space than 24-bit/96kHz format. The NuPrime DAC-10 is designed to faithfully reproduce the
music irrespective of the format used.
