HDCD

Yes an Oppo will stream the HDCD info to another dac that has a PMD100 or PMD200 hdcd chip in it and you will here hdcd. But it’s own dac looking at this Oppo 105 will not as there in not PMD chips in it https://ibb.co/WVmh7qg

This is from other forums around, and there are a few that question it.
"I opened my Oppo HDCD capable DVD player, and I don’t see a Pacific Microsonics chip."

No-one on the net can confirm any PMD100 or PMD200 inside any Oppo player, can anyone here to put an end to this speculation???

Apology, I have been calling the company that produced the hdcd PMD100 and PMD200 chips PMD (Pacific Microsonic Devices) where in actual fact it's PMI (Pacific Microsonic Industries), sorry guys.
Also I forgot that Microsoft bought PMI way back in 2000

In 2000, Microsoft acquired PMI to boost its strength in digital media, and the HDCD codec was later added to Windows Media Player, making it the first software player to support it. There are thousands of HDCD titles and numerous HDCD CD players on the market.

Again maybe it's just a light that says hdcd is being played as WMP doesn't know what dac you have, that's got the HDCD decoder chip in it or not.

Perhaps, I’m mistaken, but I thought the HDCD technology was licensed to other chip manufacturers.

I cannot be definitive.  OTOH, if JRiver can decode HDCD in software, I see no reason to reject the idea that others cannot also do it in firmware. Can you suggest a performance test to determine whether there is decoding?

Another +vote for RR discs.
Happy Listening!
