Ya, the fibre is inferior by default discussion knocked me for a loop, causing me to drop the all important HDCD investigation :-)
I am at the same place as you. To summarize. Skunk highlighted a posting in headfi where with waveforms that looks like it worked (but had some conversational chaff that initially confused me). I got someone at hydrogenaudio to post a waveform that looked like it worked. Olav posted in this forum that he did get a successful result, but did not post his waveforms. Skunk and others identify that some HDCDs don't use the compression component of HDCD. I have my waveform of Tublar Bells where I did not get any range expansion. I can't remember if you posted your waveform, but you indicated you did not see a successful decode. I upgraded to WMP10 and cleared my runtime issue and it didnt help, although I DID get the HDCD icon lit. So, if Olav comes back, we should all pick the same HDCD and try it and see if we get the same result, and triangulate on PC config as Skunk suggested. I want to be able to do this too. Its annoying me that I cannot get this to work. -- Eric Carroll Transporter-Bryston 3B SST-Paradigm Reference Studio 60 v.4 SB3-Rotel RB890-B&W Matrix 805 SB3-Pioneer VSX-49TXi-Mirage OM7+C2+R2 ReadyNAS NV+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Carroll's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9293 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
