I have to give an absolutely unbiased opinion as to how good HDCDs sound... I just realized one of the albums I've been giving a fair listen to lately "The Rocky Horror Punk Rock Show" - punk covers of the entire RHPS soundtrack is an HDCD.

Goes to show how good the technology is, I didn't notice at all in the few dozen listens... looked over to grab and pack a tota-clamp this afternoon and lo and behold, the HDCD light is on.
