Before trying to burn a CD-R with a HDCD digital signal I tried something much simpler:
I transcoded a FLAC sourced from a HDCD encoded CD back to WAV and then played it back using the latest Windows Media Player. It didn't turn on the HDCD light! I then popped in the original CD into my computer's drive and played it through WMP. Voila! The HDCD light was there. mmmmm am I missing something here? I have Accurate rip installed and the rip passed with flying colors, so the resulting WAV/FLACs should be accurate to the original disc. So, in theory, the wave file should trigger HDCD decoding on Windows Media Player.
