*** I assumed the compression/limiting practices used on contemporary CDs would have been mutually exclusive with "HDCD" mastering standards (20-bit resolution?). ***No, unfortunately applying compression is almost as easy as pressing a button (and completely independent of the HDCD encoder), and you can even compress 24-bit recordings to the max :-(
It's very hard to buck the trend - I'm using compression in my recordings as well, otherwise it's hard to achieve a particular sound or have average levels that are "reasonable".
But I try and limit my compression to around 3.5dB, occasionally 6dB for very problematic material.
