I wouldn't bother. There are too few HDCDs to justify the expense as far as I am concerned.
Unsound wrote "Kr4, there are over 6000 HDCD's" (out of how many CDs there are, I wonder) and cannot dispute the statement. What I can say is that, aside from CDs from Reference Recordings and a few other audiophile labels that I have and enjoy, the HDCD lights never go on with 98% of the CDs I have. (98% is just an estimate.)

Effectively, for me, there are too few to justify buying something specifically for the HDCD function although it might be a component factor in a decision.
