SACD Creator, the nexStage of Authoring
Most professional digital audio workstations can produce content for DVD-Audio. Lacking the cross–compatibility and ease of use that SACD provides, worldwide sales of DVD-Audio titles have been far outstripped by Super Audio CD. In an increasingly competitive marketplace, audio professionals must adapt to market forces and offering SACD production services to your line card can help.
Our SACD Creator is a unique software tool for Super Audio CD. SACD Creator, from the company that co–invented the Compact Disc, is a complete suite for conversion of DSD files to a verified SACD disc image. SACD Creator includes Direct Stream Transfer encoding, the lossless data compression method employed in the Scarlet Book specification.
SACDs — Sweet & Secure
DSD is the native file format for SACDs or Super Audio CDs, the successor to the universally accepted Compact Discs from the inventors of the CD, Philips and Sony. SACDs enjoy broad acceptance by consumers and always get the nod from engineers for their exceptional fidelity. Record labels appreciate their tightly locked intellectual property protection features . Now audio professionals have the ability to create multichannel SACD disc images, in-house, with their Windows computer.
