It would be quicker to figure how to rip CDs to take advantage of HDCD
as outlined in this thread.

Microsoft seems to have little interest in HDCD.  HDCDs are still being
produced, but who knows for how much longer.  HDCD decoders aren't free,
and in the Transporter it would have to be added in firmware.  The
firmware is apparently nearly full as it is and others want AAC added. 
I personally couldn't use AAC but (sadly) it would be much more popular
than HDCD and much more likely to be added if there was space to even
add it to the firmware.

Also existing HDCD implementations seem to be in DSPs or hardware only.
The only software implementation seems to be WMP.  Whether Microsoft
would license a software-only HDCD decoder that could be used in
SB/Transporter firmware only they can say, but given their disinterest
in the format, it's not likely.

So it would be quicker to try to get it working as outlined here.
