In Reply to: Re: "Universal Players" and HDCD posted by racerguy on December 8, 2005 at 12:33:14:
One disadvantage of listening to HDCDs without the decoder is that on some discs (which have been encoded with "Peak Extend") you will lose about 6dB of dynamic range (ie. peaks between 0 to -6 dBFS will be "compressed").However, not all discs are encoded with Peak Extend. The Joni Mitchell ones are, but the Mike Oldfield ones aren't, and they are the only two artists I have on HDCD.
