Hi-Res Audio - How To Listen to High Resolution Audio – HyperX Gaming
3,254At HyperX we’re constantly pushing the envelope to bring you the latest and greatest technological advances. Hi-Res Audio is a standard of lossless audio capable of reproducing a fuller range of sound from recordings that have been mastered at a level beyond CD-quality sources. In simpler terms, High Resolution Audio is closer to the original studio recording and takes advantage of a wider portion of the audio spectrum. HyperX is excited to deliver this technology to gamers.
The Benefits of Hi-Res Audio
CD-quality audio is encoded at a bit depth of 16-bits and a sample rate of 44.1kHz. The most popular digital formats, such as MP3 and AAC, compress files down even further. While these audio formats sound pretty good, High-Res Audio goes a step further, encoding audio at 24-bits and 96kHz to add a level of clarity and detail that was previously missing. Hi-Res Audio’s 24-bit depth and higher 96kHz sample rate allow for a wider dynamic range and better frequency response which more faithfully recreates the original waveform. Nuances like the timbre and textures of sounds that would normally get lost are captured in Hi-Res Audio, providing greater clarity and a more satisfying listening experience.
Hi-Res Audio Requirements
To experience High-Resolution Audio, you’ll need to make sure that you have all the required Hi-Res components; content, a playback device, and an output device. Regarding the content, typically, these audio formats are Hi-Res versions of FLAC, WAV, AIFF, DSD, or ALAC files. You’ll need a playback device that can play the content in Hi-Res. Finally, you’ll need an output device that can handle Hi-Res formats, such as headphones or speakers that have been certified to have frequencies response of at least 40kHz on the high end. Be on the lookout for HyperX products that sport the Hi-Res Audio logo to get cutting-edge audio technology combined with that signature HyperX quality you’ve come to know and love.
