3GB GB Features Playback of the Super Audio CD recorded in the DSD format The DSD (Direct Stream Digital) format is the core technology of a Super Audio CD, allowing music reproduction that is extremely faithful to the original sound. The DSD format, using a 2.8224 MHz sampling frequency 64 times higher than that of a conventional CD, and the 1- bit quantization, makes possible recording of more than four times the data information of the PCM format which is used for a conventional CD. Different from the PCM format which performs data decimation and interpolation via digital filters, the DSD format adopts the simple playback process. In other words, the A/D converted 1-bit digital signal only passes through an analog low-pass filter before playback. As a whole, the DSD format achieves both a wide frequency range of, theoretically, over 100 kHz, and a wide dynamic range across the audible frequency range resulting in high-quality music reproduction faithful to the original sound. To play back a Super Audio CD recorded in the DSD format with exceptional quality, the SCD-XB940 employs a newly developed DSD decoder and a D/A converter system, as well as a chassis and loading mechanism especially designed for this unit. Playback of a conventional CD with higher quality The SCD-XB940 can also play back a conventional CD with higher quality than a conventional CD player. To provide enhanced quality, the SCD-XB940 employs various advanced technologies. For example, a 24-bit precision variable coefficient (V.C.) digital filter is provided for CD playback (see page 18). By selecting one of five filters which have different cutoff characteristics, you can adjust the tone quality in accordance with the music source or your audio system. Others - A Super Audio CD can mark up to 255 track/index numbers. This feature applies to SCD-XB940. - The supplied remote is capable of controlling either the SCD-XB940 and a conventional Sony CD player.
