How to bypass the HDCD chip on Moon Eclipse cd .


I own the MOON ECLIPSE cd player and I have this cd player about a year and lately I decide to bypass the HDCD chip with the XLO REFERENCE 2 digital cable.
I must admit that I can't hear any difference , it sound nearly the same , according to many articles it suppose to sound like a different animal .
Where did I wrong ? , where is the mistake ? should I have to go with the balance outputs in the cd player , or maybe I have an old version that can't allow this bypass .
My system include :
amplification : CARY AUDIO SLAM 100
pre amplifier : MELOS MA -333
cd player : MOON ECLIPSE
loudspeakers : SONUS FABER ELECTA AMATURE
cables(interconnect):TRANSPERENT ULTRA, CARDAS GOLDEN REFERENCE.
loadspeakers cables : DELTEC
Thank you

You need to make sure you have a HDCD encoded CD. There are over 5000 but not all of them are marked as such. Check their website.
Lennardd,
Thank you for your answer, my cd player has a HDCD encoded , when I play HDCD record cd the light is turn on (before and after bypass).
My digital cable has to be 75 ohm? or can be 110 ohm?
Please let me know
Thanks

Arik, You need to press the Digital input button on the front panel when your cable is hooked up. when the HDCD chip is bypassed, there will be a little red light above the digital input writing on the front panel dispaly. the volume will increase by 6db, you should definitely hear the difference when you do this.

again, press the digital input button on the front panel while you are playing a cd. you will hear the volume get louder. that is how you know that the HDCD chip is being bypassed. it sounds way, way better, i promise!
good luck,
brian
Brian,
The digital input button in the front of the unit was pressed already , no difference at all, what is wrong?
Thanks
