How does Celestial's compression technology compare to MP3? "Celestial uses compression technology pioneered and developed by Bell Labs called EPAC. This compression technology is capable of storing large audio files in a fraction of the space with no loss of audio quality. Bell Labs has been a leader in audio compression from the beginning. Bell has pioneered and perfected this process over the last twenty years. Bell has continued perfecting and refining this process both computationally and in terms of quality and has created a more powerful compression technology than the current MPEG layer-3 or the AAC standard. It outperforms in both quality of sound and speed at which it compresses. PAC uses a variable bit rate compression scheme which can adjust to the complexity of the music. EPAC provides better audio quality at 80 kBits/s than MPEG layer-3 at 128 kBits/s or layer-2 at 192 kBits/s. EPAC encodes only in one mode; top quality for every bit rate selected. But don't take our word for it, listen for yourself." celestialtechnology.com Is Celestial owned by LU?
