HDCD


Here's a (probably) dumb question. Does anyone make a player that plays SACD AND decodes HDCD? 
I guess HDCD failed in the marletplace. Too bad. The few I have actually sound better...even when played on an old Sony boy ray player...than many of my SACDs played on my good player. I do have an older NAD cd player that decodes HDCD in a second system but I don't can't move it into the main system every time i want to hear n HDCD. Having 1 player to do both would be ideal.

JRiver will handle both.  Just rip the discs to files..................
No-one on the net can confirm any PMD100 or PMD200 inside any Oppo player, can anyone here to put an end to this speculation???
I cannot be definitive.  OTOH, if JRiver can decode HDCD in software, I see no reason to reject the idea that others cannot also do it in firmware. Can you suggest a performance test to determine whether there is decoding?
