What's up with HDCD?


Which companies still making HDCD software? What are the prospects for this format?

Some of the cd players I've been looking at are HDCD capable. Reviews of the HDCD sound are good but I'm sure Sony would like for HDCD to go away in favor of SACD.

Any opinions?

I'm pretty sure HDCD will be around for awhile. It Seems like one in every ten cds I buy these days are recorded in HDCD. I just picked up the new Johnny Cash greatest hits. Guess what? It's HDCD.
Microsoft bought HDCD and are charging a lot more for licensing fees therefore some companies such as Krell have stopped adding it to their products. It is an improvement in sound quality even without a decoder.
