I'm just learning about this myself. I was shopping online for a DVD player , when I noticed that some of the players were listed as capable of playing HDCD's. Although I had seen it listed on some CD's (including TYN), I wasn't exactly sure what it was. So I sped on over to www.hdcd.com to check it out. HDCD stands for "High Definition Compatible Digital" and here is a sampling of their hype: HDCD encoded CDs sound better because they are encoded with 20-bits of real musical information, as compared to 16-bitsfor all other CDs. HDCD overcomes the limitation of the 16-bit CD format by using a sophisticated system to encode the additional four bits onto the CD while remaining completely compatible with the existing CD format. HDCD provides more dynamic range, a more focused 3-D soundstage, and extremely natural vocal and musical timbre. With HDCD, you get the body, depth and emotion of the original performance -- not a flat, digital imitation. "With HDCD, digital officially races ahead of analog in a way anyone can hear, not just golden-eared audiophiles." -- Rolling Stone Magazine HDCD recordings will always sound better than conventional CDs when played on any CD player. You will hear fuller, richer sound on all types of players, from portables to high-end systems. This is why so many top artists and engineers use HDCD. To bring out the full bandwidth and superb fidelity of HDCD recordings, a player with HDCD decoding should be used. You will be amazed by the dynamic range and resolution produced by decoded HDCD recordings. So the $64,000 question is.................. Have any of you audiophiles out there heard TYN on a HDCD capable machine? If so give us the scoop, how much better is it ? For all you curious folks, go to the website and check it out. They have lists of all the CD's that are HDCD encoded. I found several that I already own, like John Gorka After Yesterday and Lucinda Williams Car Wheels on a Gravel Road . This sounds like it could be a future standard, that is until something better comes along.

It is not often that I am first on the block with anything. I have been playing Ten Year Night on my radio shows here in Sydney Australia for two months now. I heard it on our National Radio Station this morning. Yippeeeee.
