Location: Parkertown, Color-ado. I noticed it not working on mine as well when I upgraded to WMP 10 recently. Used the Doobies AF gold disc. Parkertown , Jun 27, Location: North of Seattle. Worked OK for me with Court and Spark. I did the Pause then Play and the indicator came on. WMP Version Craig , Jun 27, I'm using version I guess when you're dealing with betas, all bets are off. Edit: Oops, never mind. Drifter , Jun 27, Polaris Ranger Flatbed.

Windows Media Player 2. Yes No. Thank you! Any more feedback? The more you tell us the more we can help. Can you help us improve? Resolved my issue. Clear instructions. Easy to follow. No jargon. Overall, everything sounds great and the noise floor might be a bit lower literally. You could call it a musical Easter Egg hunt, like so many other things in audiophilia.

I never noticed much of a difference, but I always liked it when the orange I think it was orange light came on. I think it was more of a theoretical technology at the time of its conception. With current technology, it's more practical — I think high-end players and amplification are capable of resolving the information. Coincidentally, the technology reduced playback quality on non-HDCD players albeit as the least significant bit , kind of like Dolby did with compact cassettes.

Too bad it's long past its applicable date First of all, if it lights up, then it was encoded. It's determining whether or not to decode HDCD the same condition that causes the light to light up directly from the digital audio stream the bottom-most bit, to be specific.

There are a variety of encodings, that might be what is throwing you. Secondly, are you sure the "doing the opposite" thing isn't an indication of a bug -- specifically, what I interpret that to mean is that when you check 'use bit-audio', you're enabling upsampling, and it might be upsampling the undecoded stream as many DACs did, back in the day, which is why I always wanted a digital means of decoding the bitstream, like the Pacific Microsonics Model One or Two , hence destroying the encoding bit pattern?

In other words, how are you confirming that the decoded stream is decoded when it's supposed to be and not when it's not and please don't tell me, 'by ear'? The Audio Fidelity version of the Cars' Heartbeat City , which is what I was listening to when I wrote the first post, seems to have encoding errors.

I could use foobar to check, as indicated in the Head-Fi thread. Microsoft is fairly unclear about what bit audio does, other than to claim that HDCD will play back at "full audio quality. The audio quality of standard CDs is not affected.

Your results might be a bit inconclusive Lateralus popped up a few times in the discussion :. I spent some time researching Ayre's C-5xe MP laser replacement last night, just out of curiosity.
