HDCD
®
(High Definition Compatible Digital
®
) is a patented process
for delivering on Compact Disc the full richness and details of the
original microphone feed.
HDCD encoded CDs sound better because they are encoded with 20-
bits of real musical information as compared to 16-bits for all other
CDs.
HDCD overcomes the limitation of the 16-bit CD format by using a
sophisticated system to encode the additional four bits onto the CD
while remaining completely compatible with the CD format.
When listening to HDCD recordings, you hear more dynamic range,
a focused 3-D sound stage, and extremely natural vocal and musical
timbre. With HDCD, you get the body, depth and emotion of the
original performance not a flat, digital imitation.
