Complete item notes
During the golden age of Cantopop classics in Hong Kong during the 1980s and 1990s,Alan Tam's (Principal Tam's) musical works held an irreplaceable position. "Dream Stage" is not only a significant work in his musical career,featuring many popular golden hits,but its later released "PolyGram 20th Century Glory Collection" DCS / 24Bit version has also become a rare treasure sought after by countless audiophiles and record collectors. This is why this version has consistently maintained high demand and top cashd second-hand record buyback value in the current out-of-print CD Buyback market.
Why do DCS / 24Bit versions have such high collection and audio testing value.
For seasoned audiophiles who pursue the ultimate listening experience,ordinary pop music CDs often fail to meet the demands of high-fidelity Hi-Fi audio testing. To revive the classics,PolyGram Records specially re-mastered this album using top-notch digital processing technology:
- DCS (Data Conversion Systems) Technology: Derived from the top British professional audio brand,DCS encoding technology can largely eliminate the "digital glare" present in traditional digital recordings. This makes Alan Tam's unique and emotional voice sound warmer and more natural during playback,as if the singer is performing right in front of you.
- 24Bit Remastering Technology: Compared to traditional 16Bit CDs,24Bit technology offers a greater dynamic range and a deeper,quieter background. When listening to rich tracks like "Artistic Stage" or "Farewell Love Song," the instrument separation,subtle breathing sounds,and the studio's spatial reverb are all enhanced.
