Yes - They are released in HDCD after Plangent processing (see above).

HDCD obsolete?
From another forum:

I agree HDCD is not only alive and well, but should be used more, especially since DVD-A and SACD are pretty much dying on the vine. Unless the industry wants to start finally recording and issuing DVD-A at full resolution, and players are made available that will capture same, we would be better off just standardizing HDCD for all CDs and enjoy pretty much the same results (IMO). FYI, below is a link to a good article on DVD-A vs SACD that explains in part why we aren’t getting that touted high resolution on those formats.

Just made the DaP20 patch checks from Charlie’s transfer and yes indeed, DaP20 uses Jim Wise’s audience recording.

I.e.
Patch Info:
Sennheiser 421 -> Master Cassette -> CD (By Jim Wise) supplies:

• Bird Song (last 8 seconds - post song tuning)
  
• Mama Tried (complete song)
  
• Mexicali Blues (0:00 - 1:38)
  
• Scarlet Begonias (6:20 - 7:35)
  
• Space (4:52 - end of track)
  
• The Other One (0:00 - 4:19)
  

U can spin up DaP20 and look at these patch times from Charlie and you will see they are the same. +/- a couple seconds.  
Would have been nice to give Jim some props in liner notes of DaP20 but they just grabbed it from LMA and did it on their own

So, in the end, we now know there was only one chain of master reels made by Healy this night.

Excellent research-

Apolitical Blues Rag.
