Ghostrider45 - All CDs are made from higher number of bits from master tapes thru decimation to 16bit/44.1kHz. Bit nr 16 (LSB) switches dynamic range of the other bits but it cannot play well on redbook CD player since it has no way of knowing what is playing and will play with weird dynamics.
Whole scheme assumes that in loud passages you can't hear resolution of quiet instruments. Theoretically it supposed to work but I read opinion of recording engineer that it sounds a little strange.
Photon46 - I don't have HDCD player and asked if anybody listen on the same unit to exactly same issue of, for instance, Doors that you mentioned, in CD and HDCD.
When it says that older disk was remastered for HDCD sound in general could be improved. It's like comparing regular and remastered Doors album.
