I have been curious about HDCD for a while. What is your experience with it?
Useful information
As for playback software that decodes HDCD:
1. Windows Media Player - decodes HDCD
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Media_Player
2. JRiver - MC25 decodes HDCD

3. XX High End - decodes HDCD

4. Roon - does not decode HDCD
5. FooBar2000 - decodes HDCD
(foo_dsp_hdcd) This DSP component will decode HDCD data in any 16-bit PCM stream passed through it, resulting in 20-bit PCM. Also, has a handy scanner to find all your HDCD content.
6. Audirvana - need to research this
7. HQ Player - need to research this
8. MinimServer - decodes HDCD via ffmpeg.

9. any other you can think about let me know
As for ripping software that decodes HDCD:
1. DB Power Amp - per manual,
"Depending upon which audio player is used, if the player can handle 24 bit audio files, then adding the DSP effect HDCD is useful, in that any HDCD audio CDs (a special encoded audio CD with 20 bits of encoded audio information) will be detected and encoded to a 24 bit audio file, non HDCDs are left at 16 bit."
