Not exactly. Many HDCDs just decode to 17bits of audio. Some even to 17bits but at a peak level below -6dB so they are 16bit technically. Some use a few bits mor only in some places and very few ones seem to use more bits all the time. Being HDCD sometimes only means it was mixed on HDCD capable hardware and the dithernoise is based on it, not more.
