It all depends on the CD itself, the players are backwards compatible with standard CD playback but it depends on the actual pressing whether or not they are "hybrid" discs. You can't play an SACD on a standard CD player unless it's a hybrid. But, if you do have an SACD player, there is a wealth of extra information on the disc. For example they use a sampling frequency 64 times higher than that of CD, so it offers an extremely pure and natural sound. It's the next level for the CD, they really are under utilizing today's technology. Similar to when CD's overtook vinyl LP's. Anybody planning on spending some hard cash for a CD or DVD player should consider an SACD player, as most of them also play DVD's. Here is a link to some more info on Sony's SACD, note they are only making non-hybrid, not sure about Virgin. Lets hope it's a hybrid! http://www.sonymusic.com/sacd/faqdirect.html Hope this helps, Rick - -----Original Message----- From: owner-avalon@smoe.org [mailto:owner-avalon@smoe.org] On Behalf Of Philip Adams Sent: Saturday, January 26, 2002 5:12 AM To: avalon@smoe.org Subject: Re: [AVALON] New Ferry Single Do I need a Super Audio Compact Disc player? :-) Is Super Audio better than High Definition?

(HDCD.) is a patented encode/decode process for delivering the full richness and detail of the original microphone feed on Compact Discs and DVD-Audio. HDCD has been used in the recording of more than 5,000 CD titles, which include more than 250 Billboard Top 200 recordings and more than 175 GRAMMY. nominations, (View a list of the HDCD Grammy nominees in 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001) and account for more than 300 million CDs sold. HDCD-encoded CDs sound better because they are encoded with 20 bits of real musical information, as compared with 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 4 bits onto the CD while remaining completely compatible with the existing CD format. HDCD provides more dynamic range, a more focused 3-D soundstage, 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. Tell me more. HDCD technology was originally developed by Keith Johnson and Pflash Pflaumer, two preeminent technologists in the audio arena. In 1996, they founded Pacific Microsonics, Inc. (PMI), a California-based audio technology licensing company, in order to improve the quality of digital audio recordings and playback while remaining compatible with established digital formats. In September 2000, Microsoft Corporation acquired PMI. Microsoft will incorporate PMI's pioneering technology into future offerings for the PC, will make it available for a wide range of consumer devices, and will continue to support and develop the existing products. This technology brings to Microsoft unique strengths in digital audio signal processing that are increasingly important as digital media becomes a primary source of entertainment. http://www.hdcd.com/music_catalog/music.asp?action=search&submit=1&src=wel Artist Title Label Catalog # Bryan Ferry In Your Mind (Remastered) { none } 47604 Bryan Ferry Let's Stick Together (Remastered - Import) { none } 47603 Bryan Ferry Let's Stick Together (Remastered) { none } 47602 Bryan Ferry Slave To Love { none } 49585 Bryan Ferry Another Time, Another Place (Remastered - Import) { none } 47601 Bryan Ferry In Your Mind (Remastered - Import) { none } 47605 Bryan Ferry Another Time, Another Place (Remastered) { none } 47600 Bryan Ferry As Time Goes By (Remastered) { none } 48270 Bryan Ferry Bete Noire (Remastered - Import) { none } 47710 Bryan Ferry Boys And Girls (Remastered - Import) { none } 47722 Bryan Ferry Mamouna (Remastered) { none } 47715 Bryan Ferry The Bride Stripped Bare (Remastered - Import) { none } 47607 Bryan Ferry The Bride Stripped Bare (Remastered) { none } 47606 Bryan Ferry These Foolish Things (Remastered - Import) { none } 47599 Bryan Ferry These Foolish Things (Remastered) { none } 47598 Roxy Music Siren (Remastered - Import) { none } 47456 Roxy Music Siren (Remastered) { none } 47455 Roxy Music Stranded (Remastered - Import) { none } 47452 Roxy Music Viva!

However, you generally need a system that is capable of revealing the step-up in sound quality. And you're right, copyright schemes, like watermarking, will play a role. As it is, we cannot yet listen to SACD or DVD Audio via digital outs, only analogue. But already, the 24/96 DVD Video discs I have and the DTS audio discs I have sound great. I can't wait to hear Bryan on SACD, given his exacting production standards. ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 27 Jan 2002 09:11:17 +1200 From: Kamaya.Yates@police.govt.nz Subject: [AVALON] Baby Blue - 1st single Is this the 'baby blue' that my grandad used to rock me to sleep to when I was just a baby? how does it go?

The CD will no doubt be the dual-layer type, meaning it will play fine on any CD player ever made. But for those who have an actual SACD player, it will play in multichannel sound, like is popular for video setups, where there are not only left and right speakers, but also rear "surround" speakers and possibly a subwoofer. It is indeed proprietary to Sony and Phillips, but is basically the same as the licensed HDCD format. This last format is what the Roxy remasters are in, and they are also "backwards-compatible" with old CD players and regular two-speaker setups. They do not contain "additional material," such as pictures, etc., just the two sound formats. On the other hand, disks in a third format, DVD-Audio, do, but that's completely irrelevant to us.

Thus both have 'surround-sound', whereas SACD uses multichannel(6) techniques for high-end stereo. (during the 70's analog vinyl years it was called Quadraphony) and DVD uses Dolby-Surround(tm). There IS a difference though... Whereas SACD is ment for PURE high-end audio, Dolby-Surround(tm) is for special effects movies. Believe me, a pure low and deep bass is something different than galloping dinosaurs or Star Wars. For your info, Lucas Film(tm) e.g. approved NAD-THX(tm) audio systems the only to be capable playing the sound of their movies. f2hb CoconutTears@aol.com wrote: > But for those who have an actual SACD player, it will >play in multichannel sound, like is popular for video setups, where there are >not only left and right speakers, but also rear "surround" speakers and >possibly a subwoofer... > >They do not contain "additional material," such as pictures, etc., just the >two sound formats.
