The fact that the SB2/3 maintains HDCD information with lossless compressed or uncompressed HDCD rips (as long as the digital volume is kept at full) has been discussed on these forums before. I guess it is analogous to DTS or Dolby Digital pass through. What is news to me is that the Arcam CD player can be used as an external DAC like some Wadia and Cary players. Do newer Arcam players still do HDCD decoding or have they discontinued this feature?
