Limited Numbered Edition Au20 20 Bit Master/24K Gold CD.

"Au20 is a select series of the "sonic bests" from the Rykodisc and Hannibal catalogues.
The Au20 trademark distinguishes audiophile editions of 20-bit digital masters, "noise shaped" from 20-bit to 16-bit, and replaced on 24k gold Cds. To insure the most accurate reproduction of the music, all analog to 20-bit digital conversion in the Au20 series is from the original analog master tapes."

Mastering Facility: The Utility Muffin Research Kitchen.

"This Au20 CD was mastered from the original Dolby A master tapes. Playback was through a specially-enhanced Ampex ATR-102 using audio cards upgraded by John Musgrave and courtesy of The Complex recording studios. No equalization, compression, limiting or other "enhancement" of any kind was added during the transfer.
The analog-to-digital conversion was done through a dB Technologies™ AD122 converter in the 20-bit mode, directly to the hard disk of the Sonic Solutions digital mastering workstation.
Once edited into the final form, the program was transferred through the Sony SuperBitmapping process integrated into the Sonic System. This "noise-shaping" process allows the music to be captured in 16-bits while maintaining the optimal signal-to-noise equivalent of 20-bits. This 16-bit "Super Bit Mapped" PCM 1630 master was then used in the production of the Au20 CD."
