About HDCD
High Definition Compatible Digital (HDCD) is a patented encode/decode process for delivering the full richness and detail of the original microphone feed on Compact Discs and DVD-Audio. HDCD-encoded CDs sound better because it is encoded with 20 bits of real musical information, in stead of the standard 16 bits encoding. HDCD overcomes the limitation of the 16-bit CD format by using a sophisticated system to encode the additional 4 bits onto the CD while remaining completely compatible with the existing CD format. With HDCD, you get the body, depth, and emotion of the original performance not a flat, digital imitation.

HDCD and DSD? It even has a sticker saying Direct SBM! Why use three different sampling technologies (18-bit SBM-Direct, 20-bit HDCD and then 1-bit/2.8Mhz DSD) on one disk? Nobody would engineer a disk that way! Either somebody had some unused stickers left or this disk is marketed as "superior sounding" (with the increased price tag).
