SACD & HDCD

The NAD Master Series M55 decodes both. I've got it in my system now for demo. It's sounds great. Fit and finish is great and built like a tank.

On HDCD and redbook it's fantastic IMHO. I only have two SACDs and they sound great too. But take that with a grain of salt because I have limited experience with the SACD format.

Cheers

Cary's new SACD player does both -- the 306 SACD I think it is.

hdcd is just a trademark....not a format...like thx, or dolby....most current redbook cd's meet hdcd standards whether they pay to use the trademark or not.

Jaybo, with all due respect, I think your mistaken.

Jaybo, check your facts. I was under the understanding that while HDCD is not a different format like SACD, there is extra sonic "information" on HDCD discs that can only be retrieved by HDCD compatible DACs.
