Recently Hi definition is a very frequent theme discussed here in the news. Most of the time Hi Def is referred to movies or game consoles, but is it limited only to video content?
Actually, Hi Def audio content was already emerging in 2000, when Blu-ray or HD-DVD was only in engineers' dreams, and also DVD media technology was only in the beginnings.
Initially, Hi Def audio content was delivered on CD media and was called Super Audio CD (SACD), but in the meantime was developed also an audio format known as DVD-Audio.
Today, Hi Def audio content is still under development, and even if it's known for the most only by audiophiles, people who already have an home theater system could be curious to try also Hi Definition audio content, to enjoy a Mozart symphony in surround or to listen to a live concert of your preferred artist.
Who ever is interested can read at Computer Active an interesting basic description of Hi Definition audio formats, and discuss about it in our Audio forum 🙂
