-＊What is a “high-resolution”? -
A "high-resolution" sound source is a high-quality sound source with information content that exceeds that of a conventional CD.

By touching details such as the rawness and luster of instruments and voices, and the atmosphere and realism of a live concert venue, which cannot be adequately conveyed by conventional compressed sound sources, it is possible to experience music in a more moving way.
