Other titles, like For The Roses are something of an improvement, but I had to compare them repeatedly with headphones to notice the slightly silkier high end. If you have a CD player with the HDCD circuitry (I do not) you will probably notice even better sound quality.
Let me get this straight. HDCD CDs, to be heard at their best, need HDCD players but are backward compatible with ordinary ones.
On top of that, the HDCD releases benefit from being remastered as well, so even if you don't have an HDCD capable player, you should still notice an improvement?
Have I got this right?
Do you know precisely what HDCD actually does, as distinct from the remastering process?
