It's Like a CD, Only SUPER!
From ABCNews.com:
SACD [SuperAudioCD] boosts the sampling frequency to a whopping 2.82 Mhz. Translated, that means the machine takes measurements of the sound wave 2,822,400 times per second 64 times the rate of a standard CD.
There’s a new type of CD on the market, and as you read above, it’s better than a regular, un-super CD. I’m a little interested, however, in what the actual difference is, sound-wise. I mean, CDs sound fine to me; hell even MP3s sound fine on a decent pair of headphones. This new CD also requires (what is currently) a $1200 player. I dunno. You know that guy down the street with a recording studio in his house, or a $10,000 home entertainment system? He’ll have one. But he’ll still be using Napster, I bet, cause he probably has DSL, too.
