OptiSample®The CD-77 Compact Disk Processor offers 6 user-selectable methods of Sampling that can be ‘cycled through’during playback by pressing the OptiSample® button (RC10) on the RC-77. The sampling options are:1. Digital Master I – this mode directly takes the data extracted from the CD and re-clocked to generate themusic signal. Due to the complete lack of digital or analogue filtering, the treble frequencies are slightly rolledoff, making the sound somewhat soft and laid-back. For the same reason, the mid-range and below is verynatural and realistic. The reproduction of impulses is undistorted. This mode often helps to ‘tame’ overly-brightrecordings.2. Digital Master II (default) – this mode is identical to Digital Master I but complements this with a specialanalogue filter which corrects the roll-off in the treble frequencies. As a result, the tonality is more accurate inthe treble. We therefore recommend this mode as the benchmark with which to enjoy music.3. Oversampling 2x – this mode engages the Digital Filter with an oversampling factor of 2, thus performingthe least digital processing possible (except for no digital processing). The original data from the CD is in effectdiscarded and re-placed with a re-computed version. This new version of the music is mainly linearly scaled upusing a whole number as scaling factor and resolution/edge enhanced. The sonic result of oversampling mirrorsthose of resolution enhancement in digital photographs: more apparent detail is noticeable. However, impulsereproduction is slightly distorted, leading often to a slight perception of an edginess or graininess.4. Oversampling 4x – this mode engages the Digital Filter with an oversampling factor of 4, performing quiteSection 3 - Advanced FeaturesDigital Master IIis the benchmarkfor playback |
