It has been pleasured to finally met with HQCD team in Japan. Thank you very much 井原宏史 san, 近藤祐美子 san, and mastering engineering 神田昌美 for the great conversations and demonstration. 神田昌美 san is the engineer who handles 趙學而新碟 聽聽 HQCD ML22 & ML23 material mixture.

趙學而新碟 聽聽 HQCD received great reviews from all audiophile HiFi magazines, and the sales in just 15 days are extremely well. The Deluxe version is sold out on most stores, and some copies are available but raised the price to over HK$500/pc. I am very happy for Bondy, and such a honor to be part of it. I hope audiophiles from other Asia regions will be able to enjoy this recording.

HQCD team is now preparing the Audiophile Jazz Prologue III HQCD version, plus an exotic Crystal Disc version for our next month 2nd round Digital Audio Seminar demonstration. People will be able to listen to the CD-R, HQCD, Crystal Disc to make their own judgement. We also will setup wide ranges of latest digital audio playback solutions during the seminar. Stay tune for more information on next week.

Regarding the confusing period of HQCD, I hope our partnership with HQCD will be extended to another level and both helping the industry to grow, and create more good quality projects. Although I am handling the mastering procedure here in Hong Kong, the Tokyo HQCD center equipment are top quality too. They just need some Weiss boxes for digital flexibility.  =)
