HDCD CDs and transcoding

[vkshankar]

My apologies. I will edit my post and include the log file as a .zip or .tar.gz. I actually tried “-af hdcd”& “L24” options and I got “pink noise” on playback. Interestingly just “L24” without the “-af option” reduced the playback speed to about 50% or so. L20 doesn’t seem to be a valid option. Is there any other way of achieving what I intend? Unfortunately “wav” isn’t a viable output option for me.
I tried the options with foobar2000 UPnP server + hdcd decoder and the wav -> lpcm option worked fine and the playback had hdcd decoding on.
