Congrats on 15th anniversary.
Sound Horizon Around 15th Anniversary Re:Master Production
One can only imagine what is to come beyond the horizons.
In my opinion, it is destined to happen. CD-quality does not hold as much content as hi-res audio and sampling rate does make a difference. Regarding how much tracks and data was in each and every track, Sound Horizon (and Linked Horizon) must found that they are in need of releasing music in hi-res. (Regardless of whether the audience can tell a difference, I feel that respect its production in my humble opinion)
In the hi-fi and head-fi community, many prefer to purchase digital versions of music. Due to the fact that most SH and LH music is not available on streaming services and websites dedicated to selling digital music files (these is, however, an upsampled version of Vanishing Starlight). I am led to believe that his majesty the King and his team prefer hard copies.
To my knowledge, UHQCD or MQA CD is hi-res music (depending on source, might be DSD mastering something like that) MQA (a form of lossless compression that reduce the size of the file and keeps the quality) compressed into to fit into a regular CD. The reason to do so is because unlike BD, CDs do not have the capacity to hold the amount of data hi-res files occupy.
One thing to keep in mind is that if it is played on equipment not supporting hi-res audio, the end result would be listening to audio which sample rate is lower than what it is supposed to be (hi-res).
Furthermore a CD makes ripping much more easier and CD players/ rippers are more accessible and affordable than BD player. To my knowledge most of the people prefer to listen on portable devices. The immensely detailed questionnaire may have played a part in making these decisions.
Whilst waiting on the delivery, one may interest themselves with equipments on the market.
Don't bother asking me for recommandations. I'll just tell you to get SP2000 and CD ripper for convenience sake.
With that sorted, the following would be my personal life update.
If cabin fever is a thing, I am most definitely immune.
Going out require effort. getting oneself dressed takes effort.
People, the worst part of all. Those noisy, filthy, reckless creatures. They stare regardless.
The thing I depend on the most is a mixture of soy protein, oatmeal and soybean milk. Sometimes with beans or nuts for flavour.
It is filling. Convenient. Does not hate the taste of it.
I would loathe a proper meal.

The works are public domain and I desperately want the leather-bound version of Lovecraft's work for the sake of not hurting my eyes from computer screens. And to match the other leather or fabric bound classics on my shelf.
Scent of the day: Blazing Mister Sam
For some reason tobacco turn sweet on me. Not a complaint.
Track of the day: "The Dunwich Horror" H.P. Lovecraft classic horror audiobook ― Chilling Tales for Dark Nights
One preferred narration of this particular piece.
