AirPlay
AirPlay sends (plays) contents recorded
in iTunes or on an iPhone/iPod touch to a
compatible device via the network.
ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec)
This is a codec for lossless audio compression
method developed by Apple Inc. This codec
can be played back on iTunes, iPod or iPhone.
Data compressed to approximately 60 – 70%
can be decompressed to exactly the same
original data.
App Store
App Store is a site that sells application
software for such devices as the iPhone or
iPod Touch, and is operated by Apple Inc.
B
Bit rate
This expresses the read amount per 1 second
of video/audio data recorded in a disc. A larger
number means higher sound quality, but also
means a larger file size.
D
DLNA
DLNA and DLNA CERTIFIED are trademarks
and/or service marks of Digital Living Network
Alliance.
Some contents may not be compatible with
other DLNA CERTIFIED® products.
DSD (Direct-Stream Digital)
This is an audio data recording method. Audio
signals are stored on media such as Super
Audio CDs as delta-sigma modulated digital
audio. The signal is composed of single-bit
values at a sampling rate of 2.8224MHz.
F
FLAC
FLAC stands for Free lossless Audio Codec,
and is a lossless free audio file format.
Lossless means that the audio is compressed
without any loss in quality. The FLAC license
is as shown below.

MP3.
M
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-3)
This is an internationally standardized
audio data compression scheme, using the
“MPEG-1” video compression standard. It
compresses the data volume to about one
eleventh its original size while maintaining
sound quality equivalent to a music CD.
MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group),
MPEG-2, MPEG-4
These are the names for digital compression
format standards used for the encoding of
video and audio.

S
Sampling frequency
Sampling involves taking a reading of a sound
wave (analog signal) at regular intervals and
expressing the height of the wave at each
reading in digitized format (producing a digital
signal).
The number of readings taken in one second
is called the “sampling frequency”. The larger
the value, the closer the reproduced sound is
to the original.
