HDCD


Here's a (probably) dumb question. Does anyone make a player that plays SACD AND decodes HDCD? 
I guess HDCD failed in the marletplace. Too bad. The few I have actually sound better...even when played on an old Sony boy ray player...than many of my SACDs played on my good player. I do have an older NAD cd player that decodes HDCD in a second system but I don't can't move it into the main system every time i want to hear n HDCD. Having 1 player to do both would be ideal.

Thanks for the tip. HDCD flew under my radar since I was working overly when they were created. The library has a few and they do indeed sound better on my rig AND ....

I like the blue printed analogy. 

My Cambridge Audio CXU plays SACD, Blu Ray, and HDCD.  But try to find one. I bought it after Oppo stopped making players, but chose it instead of the pricier Oppos based on its streaming Youtube and comments by some who had compared its sound to the Oppo players.

Oppo 103, 203, 105, 205 all still show up for sale. Just keep looking and buy when you find!
