That's not what I want. I want to decode it to linear PCM so I can play or re-encode the resulting file with things that aren't HDCD-aware. (I don't like HDCD in principle - sacrificing resolution to get a bit more dynamic range and causing peak distortion on standard equipment isn't a trade-off I support. Sucks that there are a bunch of CDs mastered as HDCD that don't mention it on the packaging, too.)
