SACD (Super Audio CD)

Super Audio CD (SACD) is an advanced optical disc format designed for high-quality audio playback. It offers superior sound fidelity compared to standard CDs by supporting a broader range of frequencies, greater dynamic range, and multi-channel surround sound. SACDs use a different technology called Direct Stream Digital (DSD), which captures music with more detail and clarity. They are often used by audiophiles and music enthusiasts seeking a listening experience closer to original studio recordings. While they look similar to regular CDs, SACDs are primarily intended for high-end sound quality and require compatible players for optimal performance.
