In Reply to: Do HDCD's always sound compressed thru 16-bit DACs? posted by Aleksunder on March 4, 2007 at 16:29:43:
HDCD has a feature called "Peak Extend" which compresses peaks by 6dB. An HDCD player will re-expand the peaks, non HDCD players will not.However, Peak Extend is an optional feature - I don't know if the Roxy Music HDCDs use it (I know the Joni Mitchell ones do).
A far more likely (but depressing) reason is that the remasters employ a lot of compression. Unfortunately that seems to be the norm these days.
