Disc Operations
The SA-CD standard is based on Direct
Stream Digital (DSD) technology. This
new direct-stream digital format
comprises a 1-bit system that has a digital
sampling frequency that is 64 times higher
than that of conventional audio CD.
There are three types of SA-CD discs:
single-layer, dual-layer and hybrid discs.
Each type may contain two areas of
recorded information: a High Quality
Stereo area and a High Quality Multi-
channel area.
– A single layer disc can contain both
information areas.
– A dual layer disc can contain both
information areas. Double the
information can be stored on the disc,
thanks to the second layer.
– A hybrid disc can contain both
information areas, and also a second,
standard CD layer, making it playable on
standard CD players.
