After installing the foobar plugin I've noticed some CDs I ripped long ago showing up as HDCD (with PE). When I try decoding sample tracks from them with eac3to (using -decodehdcd) they all come up with a constant/average bit depth of 17.
Is something wrong with the way eac3to decodes them or are most HDCDs really closer to 16-bit than 20-bit? And if they're some form of variable bit depth, is there any tool that can show me the actual bit-depth during playback or even high/low values?
