Audiophile Test HQCD 2012

Description of HQCD: HQCD (Hi Quality CD) is a kind of music CD with almost limitless sound original mastering in terms of replay effects. It uses high-quality sound as an indicator. It uses Polycarbonate, which is of higher quality than ordinary CDs, and is used for liquid crystal screens as the basic production material of optical discs. Special alloy materials with greater durability, heat resistance and light resistance are selected instead of the original Aluminum used as the reflective film material of the optical disc. With the combination of these two re-materials, the sound is more slender than ordinary CDs, and the resolution, transparency and sense of presence are significantly improved, achieving a music reproduction effect that is close to the limitless original mastering. You can experience the high-quality sound of HQCD in any existing audio equipment or car audio. ※High sound quality means a high degree of mastering replayability. Japanese record companies currently participating in HQCD production include Pony Canyon, Avex Group, Columbia Music Entertainment and EMI Music Japan.
