Is HDCD dead?

I'm looking at players on this site and hardly none of them seem to encode "HDCD".Is this used in some of the newer players yet?In the past the cd's that had the HDCD label on them all sounded better than regular redbook cd's.Why are'nt more players using this technology.Does anyone have a list of players that use HDCD encoding?

Don't need it, don't want it, don't look for it, frankly it has no significance for me, and yes, I have tried it on a resolving system...

The new Raysonic CD-128 has HDCD decoding. Sounds very good too.

I want it and don't have it on my current player, the EMC-1UP SE.

I have hundreds of HDCD discs and since the Grateful Dead uses it for all releases, it makes sense for me to have it. My next player must have it.

The supposed next generation universal player from Electrocompaniet will have HDCD which makes me happy.
