Can't really say if it sounds better, but reproducing HDCD discs without the proper decoding doesn't make much sense to me despite the "compatible" moniker. At least, the higher resolution promise of HDCD would not be realized. It could even sound worse than a regular CD!
I believe the HDCD data is preserved by EAC during the ripping process. I'll have to rip a HDCD to WAV and then playback the file using Windows Media Player version 10 which is HDCD capable to find out.... -- crooner ------------------------------------------------------------------------ crooner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3379 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20300 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
