See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDCD
Looks like the format was bought by MS and abandoned. Wiki says that media player has support for these disc, so I dug out my Flaming Lips - Soft Bulletin which has a HDCD logo on it. Media player played the disk but gave no indication that there was anything unusual going on. Now in theory if you rip to WAV or FLAC and send it through your SB without applying gain or digital volume control to a compatible DAC, you should achieve the same result as playing the CD on a PC through media player. -- oreillymj ------------------------------------------------------------------------ oreillymj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=699 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33549 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
