Description:

The freshness of the sound is different! This is the first hybrid SACD with the latest DSD mastering of the definitive best of 16 tracks released in 2004, including "BLUE LAGOON", "READY TO FLY", "Saudade", "SAMBA PA TI", and other representative songs of Masayoshi Takanaka's Kitty era. The SACD layer contains the latest DSD sound sources, which were transferred flat without any equalization or compression, going back to the original analog masters for each track. The CD layer is also remastered! The CD layer contains the latest remastered sound sources converted from the above DSD to 16bit/44.1kHz PCM. The CD layer contains the latest remastered sound source converted from the above DSD to 16bit/44.1kHz PCM. Although the detail is not as good as the SACD, you can still hear the natural and rich dynamic range of the master sound when playing the CD on an ordinary CD player. The sound is warm and easy on the ears. If you feel the sound is too quiet, please turn up the volume.
