Test CD 5 is also an interesting collection of quality music from the highly varied Opus 3 catalogue. Like many other Opus 3 titles, it is of course mastered using the HDCD process (used by Opus 3 since 1996) which gives a sound quality that equals a resolution of 20 bits when using a CD player with a HDCD decoder - there are now a big number of such players on the market and lately, also in some DVD players.

Furthermore, there is also detailed information regarding our recording philosophy, recording technique, technical equipment and so on. Acoustic Music In Authentic Environments - the most true and honest reference! Like all Opus 3 recordings, all music on Test CD 5 is recorded in real life environments such as concert halls, churches and jazz clubs. This gives the listener a true reference to "reality" and a very good opportunity to really make honest evaluations, while our recording philosophy is developed in order to "capture" the authentic "Depth of Image", "Timbre" and "Dynamics the way it would have been experienced at the performance/moment of recording. 01.
