Overview

SUPER AUDIO FOR ALL CD’s
The Super Audio Compact Disc offers a signifi cant improvement in sonic performance when compared with a standard CD. SACD uses a fundamentally different approach to transferring the analog musical waveform into the digital domain for storage on the disc. This is called Direct Stream Digital, and is widely considered to be a fundamentally better approach to digital encoding. This requires very high speed processing that simply wasn’t available at the birth of the CD format. This high data rate process avoids the quantization errors inherent in the Pulse Code Modulation process used for the traditional CD and DVD. Extended high frequency response, enhanced detail and a more analog-like sound quality are often stated improvements of SACD over CD.

About the brand

NAD's approach towards product development is equally uncommon. Its products are developed by music lovers for music lovers. It is not the company's policy to impress potential customers with figures that look good solely on paper. NAD engineers understand that technical specifications tell only half the story. Far too often there is a large discrepancy between specifications in the brochure and "real-world" performance. By studying actual listening in realistic environments and the interaction between components, NAD products achieve a level of performance far beyond that which the specifications suggest.
