I have a new cd player which is HDCD compatible. It turns out that I only
have one HDCD disk in my entire cd collection and it sounds awesome. I was
thinking about buying some more hdcd disks. It's not easy tracking these
down. I see some on ebay from China. Anybody ever tried these? Do they
suck? I have this idea that they are simply regular CDs that the Chinese
have bootlegged.

I don't trust the Chinese stuff... most are bootlegged to begin with. They
sell alot of bootlegged DVD that is filmed from a movie theater and
therefore their quality is worse than VCD. However their prices are very
low... Sometime you will get ripped DVD (which is far better) but that is a
hit or miss...

Does it really matter? HDCD is a dead format walking.

For jazz, Narada Jazz puts out HDCDs for Keiko Matsui's recordings; a couple
may not be labeled as "HDCD" but they are since I had to switch to the
alternate input for analogue.

Be aware that if you change your receiver and/or player, you might have to
connect both the digital & analogue output from the player; the analogue
out may have to be connected to another input of the receiver.
