By the way I was listening to a RR recording yesterday. Great stuff.
HDCD
Here's a (probably) dumb question. Does anyone make a player that plays SACD AND decodes HDCD?
I guess HDCD failed in the marletplace. Too bad. The few I have actually sound better...even when played on an old Sony boy ray player...than many of my SACDs played on my good player. I do have an older NAD cd player that decodes HDCD in a second system but I don't can't move it into the main system every time i want to hear n HDCD. Having 1 player to do both would be ideal.

Yeah!!, the RR cd's, hdcd or non hdcd 16/44 or the 24/96, blow all forms of music sources away for me, even the RR download stuff, except if you ever get to listen to the original master un-transfered recording from the studio, on your system. Cheers George |
The last Pacific Microsonic Devices PMD200 hdcd chips weren’t cheap https://www.widescreenreview.com/news_detail.php?id=2657 https://www.stereophile.com/news/10674/index.html then Delta Sigma (bitstream) took over and and killed production. But now that R2R is coming back strong "maybe" they’ll make a comeback?? Does anyone know if Pacific Microsonic Devices are still around? Cheers George |
