HDCD
High Definition Compatible Digital® (HDCD®) is a patented encode/decode
process for delivering the full richness and detail of the original microphone feed on Compact
Discs and DVD-Audio. HDCD has been used in the recording of more than 5,000 CD titles,
which include more than 250 Billboard Top 200 recordings and more than 175 GRAMMY®
nominations, and account for more than 300 million CDs sold.
HDCD-encoded CDs sound better because they are encoded with 20 bits of real musical
information, as compared with 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 4 bits onto the
CD while remaining completely compatible with the existing CD format. HDCD provides
more dynamic range, a more focused 3-D soundstage, and extremely natural vocal and
musical timbre. With HDCD, you get the body, depth, and emotion of the original
performance not a flat, digital imitation.
