re., previous review - "I don't get the difference", June 7, 2005
This review is from: HDCD Sampler (Audio CD)
Regarding the comment on his not hearing the difference between HDCD and normal CD.
HDCD requires a player or reciever with an HDCD decoder to get the full range of the audio data encoded on the disc.
I do not have this particular CD but do have a couple of other Reference Recordings HDCD's, and a player with the chip. I can clearly hear the more open, higher definiton quality to the orchestra and voices. There also seems to be more dynamic range with HDCD.
Based on the RR recordings which I do own or have heard, both as to performance and sound, I would give a tentative (probably conservative) 4 star rating to this disc.

Sounds excellent on the stereo. Only concern is that it could be a little bit longer for the price.

I don't get the difference, March 28, 2000
This review is from: HDCD Sampler (Audio CD)
I just don't hear the difference between HDCD and normal CD. Maybe a few things come out of the mix better, but I think it's just my brain saying it's new. I really don't hear a difference.
