The problem with the software approach is not how to construct a correct HDCD decoded signal (and store it), but how to get that signal out of the computer into your hifi. You need a good sound card that surpasses 16/44 enough to let the HDCD processing shine through. -- P Floding No, I didn't ABX it. And I won't even if you ask me.
