Funny, but not all HDCD's are actually labelled that way. Nothing on the box or the disk for Cassandra Wilson's Rendezvous CD, but it plays as HDCD in the player.

If you haven't tried them, you need to...
Launche - Acousticsounds.com and Musicdirect.com both sell HDCDs as well as other formats. Alpass - I live in the past, so forgive my taste. Here's some of my favorites: Creedence Clearwater Revival - 20bit Billy Joel/52nd St - Sony Bit Mapping (SBM) Pink Floyd/Wish You were Here - SBM Boston - SBM Santana - SBM Simon & Garfunkel/Bridge over Troubled Water - SBM Sly & the Family Stone/Stand - SBM Birds/Greatest Hits - SBM Bad Company - HDCD Crosby, Stills & Nash - HDCD Alan Parsons Project/Works - SBM The Cars - HDCD Buffalo Springfield/Again - HDCD BeeGees/Greatest Hits - HDCD The Band/Greatest Hits - 24bit Eric Clapton/Reptile - HDCD Chet Atkins/Master and His Music - HDCD Beach Boys/Pet Sounds - HDCD Van Halen - HDCD Dire Straits/Best of - HDCD Plus various Reference Recordings in HDCD - Dick Hyman, Pomp & Pipes, Turtle Creek Chorale - Postcards, etc. Like Marakanetz, I buy ony the artists that I like. But like I said in my original post, I'm a sucker for a better format if I come across the same album. Unfortunately, I never took the SACD or DVDA plunge. Still not sure if one or both ever really caught on. So I'm clueless as to what they offer and which is superior. |
