In Reply to: What is the benefit of SACD if the original master is not DSD ? posted by Pierre on November 29, 2000 at 12:36:08:
For the last 10 years or so, studio recordings have already been done in 20 or 24 bit quality with a sampling rate that is considerably higher than the 44.1 Khz you get with red book CDs. In fact, this already *is* a giant resolution increase over standard CDs (the stored information has been more than tripled!) Before SACD, these recordings had to be downsampled to fit on a CD. Although the CDs would certainly benefit from the higher resolution of the master tapes, it would still be 16/44.1 when it arrived in our living rooms.
Transferred to DSD, these 20 or 24 bit masters now can be heard in their original high resolution quality. Always remember, only few of us do know if DSD is an audible improvement over a true 24/192 recording - reviews of those who have heard true 24 bit resolution tapes generally are as enthusiastic about it as those who heard DSD.Jake
