Universal player with HDCD

Unless I'm missing something, there would appear to be almost no universal players that include HDCD decoding. (Maybe a Denon model, but that would seem to be about it, at least from what I can find.) Is there a good reason for this? If one is going to make the leap to SACD and DVD-A, shouldn't one also be able to enjoy the most from those (admittedly few) HDCDs in one's collection? I'd appreciate your thoughts. Thanks. -- Howard

Both Oppo and,I think, NAD have HDCD decoding on their universal players as well as Denon. I have a Oppo being modified by RAM right now and I can hardly wait to get it. I think I have quite a few HDCD encoded discs. The Grateful Dead has released a bunch of their albums with HDCD and I have all of them. I have never listened to them with an HDCD player so I am very interested in hearing the diffence.

Cheers,
Jim
