High-resolution audio refers to sound recordings that have a higher sampling rate and bit depth than standard CD quality. This means that the audio captures more detail and nuance, providing a richer listening experience. Common formats for high-resolution audio include FLAC, DSD, and WAV, which can reproduce sounds that are closer to the original performance. Listeners often appreciate high-resolution audio for its clarity and depth, making it popular among audiophiles and music enthusiasts. To enjoy this type of audio, specialized equipment such as DACs (digital-to-analog converters) and high-quality headphones or speakers are often recommended to fully experience the enhanced sound quality.
