2xHD FUSION CD / AUDIOPHILE AUDIO CD COLLECTOR’S CATALOGUE 2026
Complete A–Z Collector’s Reference • 15 Current Titles
The Sound of Tape — Music For Life | Audiophile Quality
The Sound of Tape have treated “recording resolution” as the resolution/format of the source recording or mastering stage, rather than simply writing 16-bit/44.1 kHz for every finished Compact Disc. Where 2xHD does not publish a source resolution, it is marked Not published rather than guessed.
Likewise, none of these 15 listings is explicitly published by 2xHD as UHQCD. They are therefore catalogued below as 2xHD Audio CD / CD-DA, with UHQCD marked not stated. The catalogue page currently identifies single- and double-disc editions but does not describe them as UHQCD.
★★★★★ ratings are The Sound of Tape editorial/collector ratings, not ratings supplied by 2xHD.

⭐ THE SOUND OF TAPE — 2xHD CD COLLECTOR’S PICKS
For collectors looking for the most technically interesting releases in this 15-title catalogue, the strongest starting points are:
★★★★★ Nagra 70th Anniversary Collection — analogue-master/Nagra heritage and unusually detailed recording provenance.
★★★★★ Audiophile Analog Collection Vol. 1 — exceptional range of Nagra IV-S, Nagra T and specialist microphone recordings.
★★★★★ Audiophile Analog Collection Vol. 2 — includes documented direct-to-two-track 15 ips analogue sessions.
★★★★★ Audiophile Analog Collection Vol. 3 — excellent combination of historic jazz masters and modern audiophile sessions.
★★★★★ Audiophile Speaker Hi-Res System Test — particularly strong technical credentials: ¼″ 15 ips CCIR masters, modified Nagra-T playback and DXD 352.8 kHz conversion.
★★★★★ Percussion + — outstanding dynamics/transient demonstration material and confirmed audiophile analogue collection.
★★★★★ Mathieu Désy — Vents Contre Airs — confirmed original DXD digital master, ideal as a modern high-resolution counterpoint to the analogue recordings.
FORMAT / PROVENANCE KEY
ANALOGUE SOURCE = 2xHD confirms an analogue recording/master source.
DXD = 2xHD explicitly identifies the recording/master as DXD.
24/96 = source explicitly documented as 24-bit/96 kHz.
AAA / FROM ORIGINAL ANALOG MASTERS = used only where 2xHD itself makes that statement. For a CD, this describes the analogue provenance prior to the unavoidable digital CD stage; it does not mean the physical Compact Disc is an all-analogue carrier. The Nagra release is the clearest example.
NOT PUBLISHED = the specification could not be verified from 2xHD’s currently published catalogue information or artwork. It has deliberately not been guessed.
UHQCD: None of the 15 current listings reviewed is explicitly identified by 2xHD as UHQCD; therefore this catalogue treats them as 2xHD Audio CDs, not UHQCD editions.
THE SOUND OF TAPE ★★★★★ COLLECTOR RATING = independent editorial assessment based on recording provenance, engineering interest, audiophile usefulness, musical importance and collector appeal — not a 2xHD rating.
