Re. WMP licensing: To obtain the HDCD source code, docutmetation, etc., there is a $10,000 fee- plus a $0.10 per unit royalty. I do wish more DAC makers would invest in this, becasue HDCD can be sent over the network. Ideally Sb4 would support it and eliminate the DAC. I think the Pacific Microsonic ASIC that did HDCD, before microsoft bought them, included royalties in the cost of the chip. Does anyone know of a chip available these days? Do any sites cover reverse engineering some of the cheap dvd players/recorders, either to get the HDCD chip/functionality out, or use a recorders digital input as DAC? -- Skunk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2685 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32967 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
