| Are there new players with HDCD? I had an Onix XCD-88 (Music Hall clone) that decoded HDCD. Great piece for the price. | |

| Best I pod docking bases Check out the Monitor Audio unit on Audioadvisor.com for $149. Bypasses the iPod's crappy DAC. | |
| One-upsmanship, best cd transp/player $800 Another vote for the modified Onix/Music Hall players from Underwood HiFi. I really enjoy my Level 1+ XCD-88. | |
