K2 HD & DXD - high-end mastering for digital perfection
The CD is far from dead - especially not in its refined audiophile form. The K2 HD (developed by JVC) and DXD (Digital eXtreme Definition) formats stand for maximum digital precision combined with a warm, natural sound.
What is K2 HD mastering?
- Remastering to 100kHz / 24bit - then converted back to 16bit CD
- Developed by JVC (Victor Entertainment) for maximum analog proximity in the digital domain
- Low noise, more detail, natural stage
What is DXD?
- Digital eXtreme Definition - 24bit / 352.8kHz recording format
- Originally developed for DSD mastering, but can be used as PCM
- Ideal for fine resolution acoustic music & classical recordings
Typical applications
These formats are often used for particularly elaborate productions, e.g. for solo instruments, chamber music, jazz or complex vocal recordings. They deliver a particularly spacious, airy sound image with fine dynamics and realistic stage imaging.
