Default SACD & DSD

Hi Kal

Thanks for the explanation.
So SACD cds should have two layers, one DSD and one PCM am I right?
Is sampling only done at recording only?
Any sampling during play back?

Thanks

Hi Allen
Thanks for the explanation and providing the link
I suppose SACD players can read DSD cds
What about normal players such as Marantz 63KI , can it benefit from DSD
cds
or it reads only PCM


There are no CDs with DSD on them. The ones with such labels have PCM
on them but were originally recorded with DSD.

Thanks

Hi
SACD and DSD are they the same thing?


SACD is "Super Audio Compact Disc" and is the physical disc you hold in
your
hand.

DSD is "Direct Stream Digital" and is the protocol designed by Sony and
Philips to record and manipulate an audio signal.


You can read about it he
