I raised this issue back in 2019 and it was determined that the answer is no, unfortunately. See post #17, above, and thereabouts. Maybe something has changed since then, I don't know. I gave up on Minimstreamer-based HDCD decoding after it became apparent that all playback is reduced by 6 dB regardless of whether the file is HDCD-encoded.

Melco HA-N1ZH60 Mk1 (MinimServer 2.2) → USB → Luxman D-07X Black Edition Centennial SACD Player/DAC → XLR → Mark Levinson No. 523 → RCA → JL Audio E-Sub e110 (active crossover @ 100 Hz) → RCA → Bryston 4B3 (Cubed) → Magnepan .7
