HIGH-RESOLUTION AUDIO

As a seal of quality, the Hi–Res Audio logo stands for high-resolution audio reproduction and is assigned by the Japan Audio Society. Products approved for bearing the Hi-Res Audio logo are able to handle Hi-Res files without quality loss and have to fulfill strict requirements:

• Must feature an analogue frequency response of at least 40 kHz.

• Must be able to handle a resolution of at least 96 kHz/24 Bit.

Due to these high standards, Hi–Res Audio devices guarantee that the quality of CDs or compressed MP3 files is exceeded by far and that the entire detail richness of the music becomes audible.
