Disc Operations SA-CD (Super Audio CD) 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 Multichannel 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.
