Glossary This section explains the technical terms used in this manual. DSD (Direct Stream Digital) DSD (Direct Stream Digital) technology stores audio signals on digital storage media, such as SACD (Super Audio CDs). The signals are stored at a high-frequency sampling rate (such as 2.8224 MHz and 5.6448 MHz). The highest Audio information (audio decoding format) frequency response is equal to or higher than 100 kHz, with a dynamic range of 120 dB.
