So, all the files you've recorded @ 24/88.2 have the HDCD flag? And you've never noticed? How can this be? I'm sure I've read your previous posts Romy where you state that you don't agree with HDCD for >16/44.1 and that you don't use it...
I do not think I encode my files with HDCD. I remember Pacific manual state somewhere that during any D-D operation the LBS code need to be reinserted. Since there is no command in Pacific to do it manually I presume that it does it automatically. They do not insist the LBS code reinsertion in AD mode and stress only DD modes. Anyhow, I record with Lavry AD122 that has no knowledge about HDCD and what I play it via Pacific I do not see that Pacific treat them differently. At least never was able to see the “amber” indication on the Pacific HDCD monitor. I do not have any other DAC with HDCD chip to test what is doing on. What I source Pacific meter from output then the HDCD indication is always on.
