HDCD CDs and transcoding

[AdamWysokinski]

Hi,

Any idea if transcoding with flac:wav24 would have the same effect for HDCD tracks ripped to standard 16/44 flacs as converting these files with a dedicated plugin (hdcd.exe or sth. that is implemented in the dBpoweramp)?
hdcd.exe produces 20-bit wav files, while dBpoweramp gives 24-bits files.

Regards,
Adam
