A while back when trying HDCD decoding we found good reasons to decode HDCDs using Peak Extension. https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,61733.0.html The free CUEtools/CUEripper software can decode HDCD also if i remember right. I decoded the few HDCDs using the Peak Extension and dithered them back to 16bit volume maximized because in the decoding process the volume is lowered. Some HDCDs only do a 1bit (6dB) volume level drop when decoded withoout doing anything else. It means they simply where mastered on HDCD hardware using no extra features but the info exists is in its unique dithernoise. I did not waste time with these.
