At initial, you may be attracted by the packaging. A black paper package, with a separate sheet music and liner notes, finally, you pick up the thing that you want in a fiber pocket. Overall, it also printed in black background. You will also find it is a HDCD. Should it really a HDCD bring the power of HD? Should you ready a HDCD compatible player or amplifier?

You do not need to ready any HDCD compatible machine. Please be calm down and ready to enjoy.
