The 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 the DSD conversion processor.

Direct Stream Digital™ is a trademark of Sony and Philips.

Special thanks to David Kawakami, Gus Skinas, Kobie Crawford, and Tracy Martinson of the Sony Super Audio CD Project.
