What is Hi-Res Audio?

Hi-Res Audio (HRA) offers the highest digital sound quality while retaining the benefits of digital audio, such as portability and personalization. HRA provides listeners greater sound clarity and detail than MP3s and other compressed digital audio formats.

<Analogue process>

(1) Microphone response performance: 40 kHz or above during recording

(2) Amplification performance: 40 kHz or above

(3) Speaker and headphone performance: 40 kHz or above

<Digital process>

(1) Recording format: Capability of recording using the 96kHz/24bit formator above

(2) I/O (Interface): Input/output interface with a performance of96kHz/24bit or above

(3) Decoding: File playability of 96kHz/24bit or above (FLAC and WAV bothrequired)

(In case of self-recording equipment, FLAC or WAV file is required as minimumcondition)

(4) Digital Signal Processing: DSP processing of 96kHz/24bit or above

(5) D/A conversion: Digital to analog conversion processing of 96 kHz/24bits or above

Typically, hi-res downloads are a minimum of 96-kHz/24-bit, with192-kHz/24-bit becoming increasingly popular.
