ATRAC3plus™/Connect™ Ready
Short for "Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding 3 plus, ATRAC3plus™ is the latest development in digital audio compression. By analyzing longer slices of the audio data stream, greater precision in capturing the original signal is achieved. Used in conjunction with a newly developed translation algorithm, optimal bit allocation is realized, resulting in sound quality that exceeds all of the popular compression schemes, in a file 1/20th its original size. Compared to its predecessor, ATRAC3™, this revolutionary audio compression technology doubles the compression ratio with virtually no loss in sound quality.
What does all this mean? You'll be hearing your audio files with a new level of brilliance and clarity that will be "music" to your ears.
