XRCD2 and XRCD24 are improved versions of the original XRCD process. XRCD2 is the first to record to a magneto-optical disk via the digital K2 regenerator, while XRCD24 upgrades the original music signal’s bit depth signal from 20 to 24 bits.

Compact disc/Inventors
Compact Disc – Complete History of the Compact Disc (CD) The first workable digital compact disc device, the precursor on now ubiquitous CD/DVDs, was invented in the late 1960s by the American physicist James Russell.
What is SACD CD?
Super Audio CD (SACD) is a read-only optical disc format for audio storage, introduced in 1999. It was developed jointly by Sony and Philips Electronics, and intended to be the successor to the Compact Disc (CD) format. The SACD format allows multiple audio channels (i.e. surround sound or multichannel sound).
Which technology is used in compact disc?
Compact Disks are thin and circular data storage devices that uses optical laser technology. A semiconductor laser diode is used from which a beam of laser light is emitted to read and write the information (data or music), when the compact disc rotates on the player.
Is DSD a SACD?
SACD audio is stored in DSD, which differs from the conventional PCM used by the compact disc or conventional computer audio systems. A DSD recorder uses delta-sigma modulation. DSD is 1-bit with a 2.8224 MHz sampling rate. The output from a DSD recorder is a bitstream.
What are the different types of compact discs?
There are three main types: standard manufactured CDs (CD-DA), CD-R recordable and CD-RW rewriteable.
- Standard manufactured CDs can be played on any CD digital audio player.
- CD-Rs can be played on CD-R machines and many but not all CD digital audio players.
- CD-RWs can only be played on CD-RW compatible machines.
