It may interest you know, not only will it copy to another CD when cloned, but it will also rip to your hard drive that way as well (assuming you are ripping in a lossless format).
What I heard is that HDCD uses some "reserved" checksum and other data fields for storing an additional audio info. Does anyone knows for sure that a standart CD-ROM can really read those fields as data?
Dmitrydr - All the HDCD's I have burned to a standard CD-R as well as those same files burned to my hard drive DO activate the HDCD indicator on my DAC which otherwise remains dimmed if streaming 16-bit data.
I've been told also that XRCD's can be duplicated by conventional means, but have no way of confirming that.....anyone?
Thanks Marco, good to know. As for XRCD - it's a standard 16-bit CD, the term XRCD is about JVC's especially refined mastering process, not the format.
