What was JVC’s K2 technology, exactly?


Recommended Posts

I have a question that I hope some of the tech-savvy folks in this sub-forum can help me with:

 

I’ve long been fascinated by JVC’s K2 system. Some of the XRCDs and other K2-mastered CDs I have sound wonderful, though I have no idea whether the actual technology has anything to do with that. But on a whim I just picked up an affordable old K2 DAC. Yet I still don’t quite understand what the K2 system did (or didn’t do).
 

There are plenty of sources (see page 36 and after) out there, but none are particularly clear. Is it upsampling? Jitter reduction? Noise shaping? Something else?

 

If any folks here have more knowledge about K2 and can point me to other sources, that would be much appreciated.

FYI. Dunno if this page and its contained links provides some of what you are looking for: JVC K2 Technology
