It's supposed to increase sound from normal CD's. Dunno if it does

HDCD discs do sound very nice indeed- but I only have 3 or 4 of em.

I'm not terribly clear on how they work, but I gather the HDCDs use some
sort of compression, which decodes to 20-bit rather than 16. So, I was
wondering if that means that there's a 20-bit D/A and, if so, would that do
a better job of resolving a 16-bit data stream.
