HDCD playback

HDCD encoded disc play just fine on a standard CD player.

Do a google search on HDCD and you'll find plenty of sources like CDUNIVERSE and more. You can also go to Amazon.com, go to the music tab and search on HDCD. It will list all of their available titles.

Enjoy,

HDCD's are compatible with any standard CD player. Of course you won't get the advantages of the HDCD encoding without the HDCD decoder. HDCD discs can be found intermixed with standard CD's. Of course the Reference Recordings web site has a nice selection of HDCDs available.

Therefore in order to appreciate the advantages of HDCD encoding one does need a compatible player. Do these players that incorporate HDCD decoders necessarily list this feature? In other words, if my player doesn't list HDCD as a feature, it is likely that it won't decode HDCD encoded disks??
