check out HDCD.com
they have a list of every cd with HDCD encoding.
I have a Denon DCM370, 5-disc changer that has HDCD decoding, and i love it.
check out my post a few weeks ago entitled "favorite HDCD?"
it has a some suggested cd's.
if you're wanting to start getting into hifi, but aren't a millionaire, HDCD is definitely the way to go.
there are HDCD's in pretty much every genre. I listen to trance a lot, as well as acid jazz, and i haven't found any trance hdcd's to date, and dont know if there are any out there. plenty of classical, jazz, new music, old music, but I don't know about electronic music.

good luck, and enjoy
