It's also good for decoding 16/44.1 HDCD to 24/44.1 decoded files. This is a necessary process to hear them as intended on non HDCD compatible Dacs like Ps audio and the like.

If you need to use software to correct the speed/pitch of an older analog recording (a lot of Grateful Dead HDCD's, and a smattering of others like Neil Young's Time Fades Away​), dbPoweramp is the way to go.
