Standard audio CDs are encoded at 16-bit/44.1kHz. A 24-bit/96kHz file contains significantly more audio information per second. To put it in perspective, the high-resolution files for Saviors have approximately 3 to 6 times the data of a standard CD, and a staggering 14 to 19 times more than a standard AAC (compressed) audio file. Each track on the Saviors high-res release is a massive file, with the full album taking up about 1.5 GB of storage space.
