"For some reason, the CD 303T's HDCD decoding made a greater difference in the sound than has that of other disc players I've heard. Through the Cary, the Jimi Hendrix compilation The Ultimate Experience, remastered in HDCD by Joe Gastwirt in 1992 (Polydor 517 235-2), sounded significantly more three-dimensional and analog-like, and the top octaves far better resolved, than when played through the version ripped to my Sooloos Music Server and fed to the 303T's digital input. The difference was that the CD 303T, like the CD 306, doesn't decode the HDCD information via its S/PDIF inputs. (It was hard to hear any differences in other comparisons of CDs and the Sooloos rips.)"
"Through the CD 303T, your HDCD-encoded discs should sound really good. If you don't think HDCD makes much of a difference, this player might change your mind. Joni Mitchell's HDCD-encoded compilations from 1996, Hits (Reprise 46326-2) and Misses (Reprise 46358-2), have never sounded better here."
