Frankly - I've been very impressed with the HDCD discs I've got ( decoded thru a EAD DSP-9000/III) . I do wonder how much of this is the HDCD encoding and how much is simply the fact that HDCD is generally only used by artists and/or producers/engineers who actually care about how the final product sounds - something that has always made more difference than what technical means are used for the improvement?
It is nice that I can effortlessly copy HDCD discs from a non-HDCD player to a non-HDCD recorder thru the digi outputs and retain the HDCD info.
Frankly - I still remain puzzled as to why HDCD never turned into a BIG THING?
