Master Quality Disk (MQD) is a term that you may come across if you are an audiophile or a recording engineer. But what exactly does it mean and how does it differ from regular CDs? This article will delve into the concept and benefits of MQD, a new type of CD that promises superior sound quality and longevity.
MQD stands for Master Quality Disk, indicating that it adheres to stringent specifications for producing high-quality CDs. Unlike regular CDs, MQDs are made of 24K gold, which is believed to be more resistant to oxidation and corrosion. Each MQD also carries a unique serial number that allows for tracking its origin and usage.
There are several advantages of MQDs over regular CDs. Firstly, MQDs can deliver louder and clearer sound with better frequency response and enhanced imaging. This is attributed to their lower error rate and less jitter than regular CDs, enabling them to reproduce the original sound more accurately. Secondly, MQDs are known for their longevity, with some estimates suggesting they can last up to 300 years. This is because MQDs are less susceptible to degradation and damage from heat, humidity, and scratches. Lastly, MQDs can be used as the final product for replication, ensuring the highest quality and consistency of the copies.
MQD is an innovative development in the CD industry that aims to rekindle interest in CDs in the digital age. By offering superior sound quality and durability, MQD hopes to appeal to audiophiles and recording engineers who wish to enjoy and preserve their music in the best possible way.
