In Reply to: can a hi rez 96Hz 24bit album fit on a CD? posted by digda_beat on September 8, 2016 at 02:38:15:
Even if you did write a 24/96 music file onto a silver disc it would not be a CD. The standard is defined by ISO 60908 which defines not only the data rate (16 bit, 44.1 kHz) but also how the data is written per frame, error correction, information layers for storing ISRC, CD text and so on.
Any disc that does not adhere to this standard is not a Compact Disc.
The logo saying 24/96 remastering means just (or only) what it says. The engineers transferred the original analogue tape to a 24/96kHz digital master which was downsampled, in turn, to produce a 16/44.1kHz production master to cut the glass master for the CD.
Classic album from Sir Rod. I must look out my old vinyl copy which I haven't heard since the year of release.
