might not play in other types of players. DualDisc albums are typically packaged in CD-style jewel
cases.
Caution
Some music vendors use the term
DualDisc
to refer to SA-CD as well as actual DualDisc
albums. Be sure to check details of the media carefully to ensure that you can play the disc in
your equipment.
Although DualDisc media, unlike SA-CD media, supports two standard formats, it is not nearly as
popular as SA-CD media. Thousands of albums are available in SA-CD format, but only a few
hundred are available in DualDisc format (virtually none after 2006). SA-CD provides far better
audio quality than DualDisc (which provides only CD quality music), making it a better format for the
serious audiophile.
