What is the difference between "Japanese Digital Mastering !!!" and regular digital mastering?  Does this mean they've taken it upon themselves to remaster it (from what?) or just that the disc was made in Japan?    According to the all-knowing Wikipedia, "DDP is commonly used for delivery of disc premasters for duplication."  So, "HQ ( HIGH QUALITY ) CD, MASTERED BY DDP FORMAT" would more accurately be stated as "MASTERED FROM DDP FORMAT."  (DDP just appears to be a file format that contains more error-correcting data, making it more likely you'll make the actual CD that was intended.)  That makes me wonder what they actually mean by "HQ..."

Cheers,

Paul.
