Is hdcd worth having ??

Entering "HDCD" on ebay just yielded 466 hits. How about a 2 CD set of Shania Twain's greatest hits. A DSD recording, HDCD encoded on gold CDs for $15 with shipping from Hong Kong. Worth that just for the cover picture. I've got another Chinese HDCD of Shania and it's great.

The really good HDCDs in my collection outperform straight redbook in dynamics,extension,more 3 dimensional reach out and touch images.
I have found over 50 encoded discs so far using this list from HDCD.com
http://www.hdcd.com/music_catalog/music.asp?action=AtoZ&alph=Print&submit=1
which lists via title and catalog/ID numbers,over 5000 titles out there have recieved the treatment.The now Microsoft owned and revamped site has loads of info and lists all the mastering studios which offer or produce HDCD capable CDs.
HDCD is incorporated into Wind/Media player version 9 to help data reduced streaming.
3 new releases November,maybe HDCD is set for a second act.
Before hearing how well it expanded beyond redbooks ability
I would have said don't make it the sole factor in a new machine.BTW the chinese are releasing titles now and have many CDPs with HDCD processing.

The Denon 3910 with Exemplar mods. decodes HDCDs. I played Joni Mitchell last evening to my great satisfaction. It is great to once again have this capability. HDCDs are clearly superior to cds and are different in sound from sacds and dvdas.
