The Compressed Music Enhancer feature compensates for
missing harmonics in compression music formats (such as
MP3). As a result, this technology provides improved
performance for the overall sound system.
High Resolution
High Resolution signifies high quality audio devices and
content (such as 192 kHz/24 bit FLAC). The Consumer
Electronics Association (CEA) defines High-Resolution Audio
(Hi-Res Audio or HRA) as, “lossless audio that is capable of
reproducing the full range of sound from recordings that have
been mastered from better than CD quality music sources.”
