K2 High Definition

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

K2 High Definition (K2 HD) is a mastering technique developed by JVC Music. K2 HD encodes the music in 24 bit and 100kHz resolution while in the mastering stage, even though the end product is a standard red book CD (16 bit, 44.1kHz) and does not require special hardware for playback.
