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.

Yes...RR will playing anything. As I said, even on standard players, RR stuff is great. But when decoded...wow...

Yep, Oppo 105 does it.  I can also stream it via an HDMI cable from my Oppo 105 through a D.BOB to my Holo Audio DAC.  And yes, Reference Recordings are some of the best in redbook and even better in HDCD.

Thats the ticket Achipo....The Oppo 105 as a transport and then the D.BOB Box to the Best Dac you have. (Esoteric for me)

105's can be had for well under 1K.  Your talking about the 205 which doesnt have HDCD capability. You can also Rip SACD thru the 105 which you cant do with the 205.
