Sell CDs,including Sam Hui's "A Singing Song" – a 4-part quartet of his life (4 CDs/DSD)

For seasoned music lovers and record collectors,the value of physical records lies not only in the melody but also in the mastering technology behind the tracks. This Sam Hui - A Glass of Wine,A Song: Sam Hui's Four Life Chapters (4 CD/DSD) set has become a popular treasure hunt item for Hong Kong second-hand CD Buyback stores precisely because it employs DSD (Direct Stream Digital) audiophile remastering technology.

For audiophiles pursuing ultimate sound quality,playing the DSD version with premium equipment offers an irreplaceable enjoyment that streaming music cannot match.

What type of vinyl record?

Vinyl records were the dominant music format in the 20th century. Because vinyl records offer the closest sound quality to the original audio without distortion, they provide a more authentic and perfect listening experience, appealing to people of all ages.

Value of vinyl

The same vinyl record released in different years not only has different disc cores, but also different record thickness, width and depth of the grooves, and order, so the sound will naturally be different.
