George,
Please get your facts straight.
CD = Redbook = 16/44.1
HDCDs are 16/44.1. HDCD uses a proprietary algorithm to to compress the peaks of a recording so that when played back on an HDCD decoding device, the peaks are extended and approximate the dynamic range you would get from a 20/44.1 recording.
HDCD is most certainly not 24/96.
Also, HDCDs with "Peak Extend" used can sound not so very good when played on a regular CD player. Read here:

I hope this has been educational.
