After much consideration they moved a step further with that goal which is to deliver the sound exactly as the artist had intended. Moving from the AK100 to AK120 they decided to move to a Dual DAC setup to create better left and right channel separation with clearer sound quality.

Compared to regular audio CDs with 16bit/44.1kHz PCM format SACDs recording frequency goes up to 100kHz and the dynamic range goes beyond 120dB while maintaining sound clarity during the transmission.
