HISTORY: Background

Think for a moment about the sound of live music. Think of the warm thrum of an acoustic guitar, the sharp pluck of the harpsichord, the richness and subtlety of the human voice. Think of the way the last note seems to hang in the air, just before the applause begins. Super Audio Compact Disc brings this sound home as never before.

More than an improvement, enhancement or extension of existing technology, Super Audio CD is a fundamentally new approach. Renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma declared, "It feels more alive, more present, more translucent... closer to reality." Film composer and conductor Jerry Goldsmith said, "When the orchestra came into the booth and listened to the playback, they were completely blown away. They had never heard anything like this." Composer Jerry Goldsmith quoted in Home Theater, July 2001. And in the New York Times, Joel Brinkley wrote simply, "Once you hear a Super Audio CD, you will never want to go back." Joel Brinkley, New York Times, December 9, 1999.
