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 folk/rock vocals, here are my top picks:

Joni Mitchell's "Hits" and "Misses" were remastered on HDCD and sound amazing.

Also, most recent David Wilcox CDs are HDCD.

Although the recording quality isn't as high, almost all Neil Young CDs in the past five years have been HDCD -- even some of the grungier live recordings.
