SACD is a new format for high quality audio CD’s. SACD stands for super audio CD and since its introduction it has not been a big seller within the marketplace. The main difference between a normal CD and an SACD is that an SACD can hold much more information, as well as play back music with a larger range of frequencies. In addition, SACD includes multi channel recordings, here is some more information.
SACD while only about .5% of the total CD’s sold in the US is becoming more popular with audiophiles. SACD will only play on SACD players. There are also a few DVD players that include the ability to play SACD discs. SACD’s usually store more information and in a variety of channels. For instance, on an SACD you might get a stereo recording in two channels as well as a 5.1 or surround sound recording.
While SACD is a higher quality format, it has not caught on due to the fact you need a special player, as well as that many people are more interested in buying CD’s, compressing them and playing them on their mp3 players. SACD require a lot more storage space than a typical CD. SACD players are usually a little more expensive than typical CD players but their price is dropping quickly.
