I was wondering if I copied the CD via EAC and burn it, will the copied CD remain as a HDCD? I am unable to test this as I do not have a HDCD player.

How is HDCD implemented?

apparently this works. i don't have an hdcd player either, but at the last meet i went to there was an hdcd player and all's i had was a folder full of my burns.

the dac lit up as "hdcd" when i put in one of my burned albums. i always burn with eac, so it must transfer it somehow.

i dunno how hdcd is encoded or whatever, but it's obviously transferable with eac.

It's encoded in the last bit of the normal 16bit stream so if you copy the audio CD with few errors the HDCD information will remain intact

I've got one of those CD that are a collections of songs from many different CD's (I think it is a "Now" series) and it has only one HDCD song on it while the rest are conventional. The CD player's HDCD light only goes on for that one song and it seems considerably nicer (cleaner) so it appears to be working.

I've copied it for car use and the copy still works just the same on
my HDCD player so I agree with Grinch and Joe that you can copy the HDCD capability.

I've tested this pretty extensively, and yes, it works fine.
