In a thread on the ripping forum recently, mswlogo has sussed out how to 'up-bit-depth' his flacs from 16 to 24 bits. Filesize is similar, as it just compresses out, so no downside. The file is padded out with zeroes, so there is no change
Potential upsides he gives are reduced jitter and (if applicable) better DRC from higher bit depth of processing. The latter I don't care about, but the former is interesting. Comments? I would have thought that higher bit depth would change the data timing, but would it always improve it? Analysis from techies welcome!
