What are DSD and DXD?

DSD (Direct Stream Digital) is a 1-bit digital encoding system based on pulse-density modulation. DSD64 operates at about 2.8 MHz, DSD128 at about 5.6 MHz and DSD256 at about 11.2 MHz. Playback requires a DAC or player compatible with the selected DSD rate.

DXD (Digital eXtreme Definition) is an ultra-high-resolution PCM format; in the version offered here it operates at 352.8kHz. Developed also as a professional editing and post-production environment for ultra-high-resolution workflows, it requires a compatible DAC or player.
