Control Room Acoustic Treatment: Sonex from illbruck/usa Digital Editor: Sonoma DSD This CD was recorded using the Direct Stream Digital™ recording system. DSD is a new and improved method of converting music into the digital domain, sampling at 2.8224 mHz. This results in a frequency response from 0 Hz to beyond 100 kHz, and a dynamic range greater than 120 dB. Much of the added resolution afforded by the DSD process is retained in standard CD production by using a dedicated DSD conversion processor. Direct Stream Digital™ is a trademark of Sony and Philips. Special thanks to David Kawakami, Gus Skinas, and Tracy Martinson of the Sony Super Audio CD project; Joseph Chilorio, Mechanics Hall Productions; and to Bruce Leek.
