Hi Res, also known as High Resolution Audio or High Resolution Audio, is not unfamiliar to headphone enthusiasts. Hi Res Audio is a high-quality audio product design standard proposed and defined by Sony, developed by JAS (Japan Audio Association) and CEA (Consumer Electronics Association). The purpose of Hi Res audio is to showcase the ultimate quality of music and the reproduction of the original sound, obtaining a realistic experience of the live performance atmosphere of the original singer or performer. When measuring the resolution of digital signal recorded images, the higher the resolution, the clearer the image. Similarly, digital audio also has its "resolution" because digital signals cannot record linear audio like analog signals, and can only make the audio curve closer to linearity. And Hi Res is a threshold for quantifying the degree of linear restoration. The so-called "lossless music" that we commonly and most frequently encounter is based on CD transcription, and the audio sampling rate specified by CD is only 44.1KHz, with a bit depth of 16bit, which is the highest level of CD audio. And audio sources that can reach the Hi Res level often have a sampling rate higher than 44.1KHz and a bit depth of over 24bit. According to this approach, Hi Res level audio sources can bring richer music details than CDs. It is precisely because Hi Res can bring sound quality beyond the CD level that it is revered by music enthusiasts and a large number of headphone fans.
Hi-Res certification
1. Product compliance testing
The product must meet the technical requirements of Hi Res:
<Simulation process>
Microphone response performance: 40 kHz or higher during recording
Amplification performance: 40 kHz or higher
Speaker and headphone performance: 40 kHz or higher
<Digital Processing>
(1) Recording format: Ability to record using 96kHz/24bit or higher formats
(2) I/O (interface): Input/output interface with a performance of 96kHz/24bit or higher
(3) Decoding: File playability of 96kHz/24bit or higher (requires both FLAC and WAV)
(For self recording devices, the minimum requirement is FLAC or WAV files)
(4) Digital signal processing: DSP processing at 96kHz/24bit or above
(5) D/A conversion: 96 kHz/24 bit or higher analog-to-digital conversion processing
