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.
