Ripped WAVs from CDs are 16-bit, so 24-bit will not happen.
Yes, but... MP3 is a lossy encoding. Our MP3 decoder does generate
24 bits of output.
Then decoded MP3 and FLAC audio may have a volume adjustment applied
to it with 24 bits of accuracy.
The D/A converter then gets 24 bit output. S/PDIF output will be
converted back to 16 bits.
