SHM-SACD (Super High Material SACD) is the ultimate Super Audio CD that utilizes the materials and technologies that were developed for the SHM-CD to further enhance the audio-resolution. These discs are made with polycarbonate developed for the screen of the liquid crystal display. As it has a higher transparency, players can read the signal more faithfully. Also, it excels in fluidity, which enables you to cast a more accurate pit. What works wonders for a low resolution format such as CD should offer even greater sonic improvements in a real high resolution format such as SACD.

- Two-channel SACD layer only, to secure enough reflectance and not to compress DSD file.
- Label of the disc is printed with a special green ink called 'Onsho Shiyou,' which minimizes diffuse reflection.
- Carefully selected master audio is used, from existing DSD files to newly converted from analog tapes.

Perhaps one of the most influential albums of all time. Punk, new wave, goth - you name it; most any alternative rock genre owes its birth to this record and this group. This record is a diverse collection of garage rock, pop, stripped-down R&B and love songs. Lou Reed takes the listener on a ride through tales of drugs and sexual exploration. What's more, the album's cover art, by Andy Warhol (who also is credited as Producer), remains among the most recognizable ever. Thirty years after its debut, this record still hasn't lost its power.
