The CD was recorded using the Direct Stream Digital™ recording system. DSD recording system is a new and improved method of converting music into the digital domain, sampling at 2.8224 mHz. This results in a frequency response from 0 Hz to beyond 100 kHz, and a dynamic range greater than 120 dB. Much of the added resolution afforded by the DSD process is retained in standard CD production by using Super Bit Mapping Direct™, a dedicated DSD conversion processor.
