I recommend all PC-audio users to purchase the dbpoweramp program... It permits de-coding HDCD (creating a 20bit /44 file out of the 16/44).

I didn't know that. But then these 20/44.1 files wouldn't work with QAP, and that just wouldn't do!

True. Also with the PeakExtension feature, XX can simulate HDCD-decoding somewhat.

By the way; I have several HDCD titles, but they are coded differently. Only a few of them have this Dynamic range compression.

Settings all settings as recommended by Peter by October 2019.

That's because 'HDCD-encoding' includes a number of options, of which Peak Extension is just one. See my 'HDCD 101' thread if you're interested.
