    Playing HDCD's

    I have heard that Windows Media Player 10 and higher will properly decode and play HDCD's. According to what I've heard a HDCD flag will appear in media players window when playing HDCD disks. Your sound card must have 24 bit capability.

    Does anyone have any knowledge and/or experience with this?

    You might want to check your recordings. It seems that many HDCD recordings are not labeled as such. I just checked the CD re-issue Dave Brubeck, Time Out, Columbia CK 65122 it is a HDCD recording although nowhere in the paperwork is it mentioned. The link below lists most HDCD recordings.
