I have not used dbpoweramps HDCD conversion. If I use the hdcd.exe to convert the files beforehand I end up with 24bit files and they play fine. I believe the hdcd.exe puts out 24bit files rather than 20bit files merely for playback compatability reasons. So, my pre-converted HDCD's play fine. But, I would still like to experiement with on the fly decoding. -- SatoriGFX ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SatoriGFX's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8852 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57782 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
