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.

The Grateful Dead mastering and release team use it for everything they release on CD. I wish it was offered on more DACs. My new digital rig is the Pro-Ject CD Box RS2, Lampizator Atlantic or Bricasti M3, so all sounds great…but darn it, I wish I could take advantage of HDCD for the ton of Dead I listen too.

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.
