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.
DTS Neo:6 WAV DTS Neo:6 enables 6-channel playback from 2-channel sources. There are two modes available: “Music mode” for Windows standard audio file format, which defines the method of recording the digital data obtained by converting music sources and “Cinema mode” for movie sources. This technology provides discrete full-bandwidth matrix audio signals. By default, the PCM method (no compression) is used, but you can also use other compression channels of surround sound. methods.
