Yes. Yes.
You may have some in your collection already - look for the HDCD logo.
The King Crimson remasters are HDCD and I have one by Mark Knopfler.

Why do you want to know? There is no benefit from the format.

Virgin Records do more HDCD than most companies

All of Mike Oldfields stuff is now on HDCD

I found a few without knowing I had them:
The Flaming Lips last two albums, Pet Sounds and a Beck one I think.

Pete.

Anyone here got:
An HDCD disc, an HDCD Player and an opinion about the sound from them?

I own 2 of the discs, Lateralus by Tool and Counter-Culture Nosebleed by
Theory Of Ruin, but I don't have a HDCD player, so I can't tell you how it
sounds.

I have a Copland CDA266 which reads HDCD, just need to look through my
CDs for an HDCD!

I'll let you know.

Yes but this is from distant memory when HDCD was a hot and new thing:
1) The HDCD discs were Reference Recordings which, in general, are
excellent to begin with.
2) Playing them on the HDCD-compatible player, there was a slight bit
of better detail in the HF and the impression of it in the mids.
Dynamics were similar to the CD version.
3) Playing the HDCD on a non-HDCD player was no better and, at times,
not quite as nice as the CD version.

That catalogue is no where near a full list. I have bought quite a few HDCD
lately and none are on the list. There seems to be lost of HDCD in the country
and folk Americana music genres.

BTW how do you like the Copland, I'm looking to upgrade and that is on my
shortlist?

The Copland is a very well built machine.

I haven't really played it enough to say how good it is. it's miles
better than my Cambridge audio CD640 Azure, but then it ought to be!

I'm getting a Shanling also to compare.

Oh no!! I was thinking of buying a Cambridge audio CD640! What's wrong
with it? Or are we talking about a huge price difference/sound quality
difference?

One costs £250, the other £1200...

The Cambridge sounds great for the money, you have to spend a shed load
more to improve on it. It also comes with the finest remote you will
ever find.

The 640 amp has a motorised volume knob that turns itself down if you
overdrive the amp!
