3.12 kHz/OptiSample® (RCD-777 only)
The CD-777 Compact Disk Processor offers 6 user-selectable methods of Sampling that can be cycled through
during playback by pressing the kHz/Sampling button (RC10). The sampling options are:
a. Digital Master I – this mode directly takes the data extracted from the CD and re-clocked to generate the
music signal. Due to the complete lack of digital or analogue filtering, the treble frequencies are slightly rolled off,
making the sound somewhat soft and laid-back. For the same reason, the mid-range and below is very natural and
realistic. The reproduction of impulses is undistorted. This mode often helps to tame overly-bright recordings.
b. Digital Master II (default) – this mode is identical to Digital Master I but complements this with a special
analogue filter which corrects the roll-off in the treble frequencies. As a result, the tonality is more accurate in the
treble. We therefore recommend this mode as the benchmark with which to enjoy music.
c. Oversampling 2x – this mode engages the Digital Filter with an oversampling factor of 2, thus performing the
least digital processing possible (except for no digital processing). The original data from the CD is in effect
