ⓘ Blu-spec CD2 (BSCD2) uses blu-ray technology for precision disc cutting and a high quality polycarbonate for improved transparency. BSCD2 discs are fully compatible with any standard CD player.
ⓘ Super Audio CD (SACD) is an optical disc format which allows multichannel surround sound and provides a higher bit rate than a conventional CD. There are two types of SACD:
-
An SACD disc with one or more Direct Stream Digital (DSD) layers, designed to play on an SACD player only
-
A hybrid SACD containing an additional Compact Disc Digital Audio (CDDA) layer that can be played on any standard CD player
This is a hybrid SACD and will play on any standard CD player, but only at conventional CD quality. To play the DSD layer requires an SACD compatible player.
