Yes, Paul Stubblebine is correct, in over 16-bit mode the HDCD is not available (or necessary)...


No, I think he's saying that you have no choice and that HDCD cannot be defeated @ >16bit: "There are no options for turning off any so-called HDCD functionality."

So, Romy, is he right? If so, how do you defeat HDCD when you record @ 24/88.2 in AD mode?

It may help if I quote what I asked and what Paul replied:

Mani: "... I know of another Model Two user... who does not use the unit's HDCD functionality when recording at resolutions > 16/44.1 - he prefers it without HDCD at these resolutions."

Paul: "... your comments about some user of the Model Two not using HDCD functionality at higher resolutions doesn't make sense. When encoding to 44.1/16, there are a couple of options for fitting the 24 bit source into the 16 bit delivery format. The user may use one or the other or neither, operator's choice. But at any setting of 88KHz or higher those options are not even available. You've got a Model Two, Mani, check it out for yourself. There are no options for turning off any so-called HDCD functionality."

Still confused...

Mani.
