Enjoying pure high fidelity sound (Pure Direct)

electrical noise from other circuitry (such as the front display). It
allows you to enjoy Hi-Fi sound quality.

Enjoying compressed music with enhanced
sound (Compressed Music Enhancer)
Compressed Music Enhancer adds depth and breadth to the
sound, allowing you to enjoy a dynamic sound close to the original
sound before it was compressed. This function can be used along
with any other sound modes.
In addition, Compressed Music Enhancer enhances the quality of
uncompressed digital audio (such as 2-channel PCM and FLAC)
when “Hi-Res Mode” (p.101) in the “Option” menu is set to “On”
(default).
