Thanks for enlightening me about the full truth of HDCD. So the main deal about HDCD (for CD) seems to be companding like dbx or Dolby.
(This was already posted in another forum years ago: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=182413&postcount=13 )
16 bit is supposed to be enough for most music and so I don't know why this companding was ever needed especially when they forced non-HDCD CDs to have a 6db level cut. Better ADC of course is helpful.
I was always tempted to buy this Pet Sounds DVD-A just for the HDCD encoding although I don't care too much for their music. Now I know it's probably not worth the money & the space it will take in my shelf.
