For more information about what a Super Audio CD (SACD) is, read this article from Philips.
I didn't expect the NorthQ to be able to play SACD discs, but I had to try it
 |
The Super Audio CD I tried was "The Dark Side Of The Moon, 30th Anniversary Edition SACD" with Pink Floyd (great record by the way). |
 |
When I inserted the SACD disc into the
NorthQ, it did not identify it as a SACD, it identified it as standard CD. This means that the NorthQ did not find the extra HD layer on the SACD disc. |
So the NorthQ was not able to play the HD layer on a SACD disc. It treated it as an ordinary audio CD.
