technology using the full potential of a CD. The HDCD
process (High Definition Compatible Digital) is a
patented coding and decoding process transporting
thie complete details of a high resolution “master
recording” to a CD. There were several attempts to
improve the sound quality of CD's, but none which could
be compared to HDCD process.
