SHM-CDs utilize a polycarbonate material originally developed for LCD screens, and its enhanced transparency results in greater clarity, depth, and definition of sound, bringing the listener ever closer to the music of the original master. It offers crystal-clear sound, significantly higher resolution, and excellent balance and stability.
