Why Reference Recordings is doing SACD
Why did Reference Recordings decide to make SACD after all? We know, many have wondered what took us so long.

RR has a virtually unbroken history of making the finest possible high resolution recordings. We started with analog tape. We were not satisfied with early technology, 16 bit digital recordings, but soon began making HDCD…
