HDCD: What do you like?


I'm upgrading from my transport/DAC to a one box. All the ones that I'm considering are HDCD compatible, but my present system isn't, nor do I have much HDCD stuff in the collection.

I need some music to evaluate the HDCD players. What recordings do you like? Is anything particularly revealing of how the player reads HDCD.

(This can probably be construed as a "what do you like to test with?" post, but I'm hoping to narrow it down.)

If you like classical, try Rachmaninoff Symphonic Dances by Eiji Oue and the Minnesota Orchestra, Reference Recordings RR-96CD. This good performance of pretty compositions is well recorded and the transfer shows off the HDCD process.
