HDCDs from China?

There are quite a few from the USA, go to http://www.hdcd.comfor a listing.

I have purchased two Chines HDCD's, Enya and Norah Jones. Mine seem to be legitimate, sound quality is good, they light up the light on my cdp, production label is well known. I think you just have to be careful and do some research, I am sure there are fakes as well.

China has a huge problem with pirated CDs and DVDs. The government cracks down on occasion, but there are far to many people who make copied CDs and DVDs and then pawn them off on anyone willing to pay the cut-rate prices for which they will sell their illegal discs.

There was a recent topic about this on the Steve Hoffman Forum (stevehoffman.tv). Many of those CDs are indeed legit and HDCD encoded, but some are pirate CDs and only use the HDCD sticker to sell better.

Of course HDCD doesn't say anything on the quality of the remastering.

The Last Comment of Ornette "Of course HDCD doesn't say anything on the quality of the remastering" Is So True
I Bought Several of These HDCDs as well and Some How I feel They are ReMastered in Such a Way That The Bass & Highs are Empahasized More.
I Found the Albums to Be Very Thin and Bright, with very good clarity. Bass Is Emphasized But the Mid range seemed Not Very Liquid or TameAble.
There is Software on the Market "Audio Acoustica" That will Change your MP3s into Cd-Wave Quality CDs or Vice Versa (supposedly). I Almost Think that This Is the Same Process China Uses to get the HDCD. I'm Not an engineer, but perhaps this is the same job a DAC accomplishes... The Better the DAc the Better the End Sonic Quality.
If You Compare These to Standard Quality CDs They're Great... But Compared to Audiophile Quality theres No Comparison.
I think Value was Great I bought a bunch and Paid an Average of $4 per Disc Plus a Discounted Shipping Rate.
