Super Audio CD Overview  

Super Audio CD (SACD) promises a new level of high fidelity audio reproduction that blows away the Compact Disc (CD).  With its all-new Direct Stream Digital (DSD) technology, which results in a new level of musical transparency, and multi-channel discrete audio capability, SACD delivers a compelling and immersive audio experience that is best described as "virtual reality" for sound.
