HDCD Transport to non HDCD dac

Thanks for all the help. I'm sorry about the word "transport" what I have is a Rotel RCD-990 that I am using as a transport going to a Parasound Dac-1100 both have HDCD but I was thinking of upgrading the dac with the IC CS8414 and DF1704. But if I do this I will lose the dac's HDCD in the dac. That is why I wanted to know about this.

Looks like George has answered my question. Thanks George for the comparison.

There are two Parasound 1100 dacs one does HDCD.

PARASOUND D/AC-1000 2 x PCM63P-J – SM5813AP – CS8412-CP It's a DAC

PARASOUND D/AC-1100 HD 2 x PCM63P-J – PMD100 – CS8412-CP It's a DAC

Cheers George

George, the McCormack transport would not. I owned it.

That's weird as even very old dvd or cd rom drives transports in computers send it, as you'll see HDCD come up in the bottom left corner of Widows Media Player that it's a HDCD disc being played.
They must have done something pretty weird with the McCormack to needlessly filter it out.

PS: As Kalman Rubinson of Stereophile states here it must have been defective. Or maybe it could have been a bad digital link cable from it to the dac, maybe not being 75ohm
