I like the non-HDCD discs from RR just as much due to the clarity of the recordings-some of the best discs i've ever heard (the Helicon Ensemble disc playing bach/baroque is clear as a bell). HDCD is fantastic though- i like Trittico- dallas wind symphony with lots of percussion and brass. the problem with HDCD is the huge dynamic range- 1st you have to turn up the volume way higher than with regular cd's because of the hdcd filter, but then you have to keep your remote handy in case your speakers can't handle the really loud parts. i hear they are coming out with more titles now, which is very good news.
