What is stereo?




There are now two system of high fidelity, monophonic (monaural) and stereophonic. Monophonic is a system that starts from one microphone and is fed through a single high fidelity set. Stereophonic is a double system. Two separate microphones are placed at different sides of the orchestra and two different systems are used to keep the two signals or channels separated. Two separate speakers are used, placed on different sides of you room. Stereo is much like 3-D photography, two slightly different sound reach your ears giving you a new dimension in sound.

Sony SCD-XE597 Super Audio CD

 

This player is designed to play back 2-channel and Multi-channel Super Audio CDs, and conventional CDs, and provides the following features:

Mounted with a Discrete Dual Laser Optical Pickup, capable of reading a Super Audio CD or conventional CD depending on the exclusive wavelength.

Quicker track access performance enabled by an advanced servo mechanism.

A Multi-Channel Management function that allows you to adjust the multi-channel playback environment according to the allocation and size of your speakers.

A Super Audio D/A Converter, which allows higher-quality sound reproduction.

A Super Audio CD can mark up to 255 track numbers. This feature applies to SCD-XE597.

The supplied remote is capable of controlling both the SCD-XE597 and a conventional Sony CD player

 

Compatible Disc Types:  Super Audio CD and Audio CD

 

Super Audio CD is a new high-quality audio disc standard where music is recorded in the DSD (Direct Stream Digital) format (conventional CDs are recorded in the PCM format). The DSD format, using a sampling frequency 64 times higher than that of a conventional CD, and with 1-bit quantization, achieves both a wide frequency range and a wide dynamic range across the audible frequency range, and so provides music reproduction extremely faithful to the original sound
