Adopts high-performance 24-bit DRIVE II Equipped with a 24-bit DRIVE? U that finely digitally processes 16-bit CD information with a 24-bit amount of information. In the past, it had a great effect on the quantization distortion of the part where the volume change was small, and it was effective even when the volume change was large. By removing unnecessary quantization distortion and converting it into a signal closer to the original sound, the audibility, lingering sound, localization, and presence are greatly improved.
