DSD to PCM Encoding: Sony Super Bit Mapping Direct

Special thanks to David Kawakami and Gus Skinas, Sony Super Audio Project

This CD was recorded using the Direct Stream Digital™ recording system. DSD is a new and improved method of converting music into the digital domain, sampling a 1-bit word at 2.8224 mHz. This results in a frequency response from 0Hz to beyond 100kHz, and a dynamic range greater than 120 dB. Much of the added resolution afforded by the DSD process is retained in standard CD production by using Super Bit Mapping Direct™, a dedicated DSD conversion Processor.

Direct Stream Digital™ and Super Bit Mapping Direct™ are trademarks of the Sony Corporation.
