I've just listened to:
4 Bryan Ferry HDCD remasters (In Your Mind, These Foolish Things, Lets
Stick Together, Another Time, Another Place), Mark Knopfler (Golden
Heart, Sailing to Philadelphia, Shangri-La) John Fogerty
Reading another amusing thread on the merits of streaming flac vs wav
reminded me to post in this thread...
If you insist in streaming WAV you will not be able to play the 24-bit
flacs - they transcode into white noise!
Stick with streaming FLAC and the 24 bit-files play fine...
or do they?

through the DSP except if it's played back through the speakers:

(except in high-end pre/pros that digitize all incoming

Come on skunk give me a break it was 15 pages ago and a single sentence

Sorry, but one reason the thread is 15 pages is that I wasted one or
two of them talking about DSP implementation of HDCD, so it was
mentioned a few times ;-)
Apparently 15 pages
