I know, the masking effect was just a joke (although it is very apparent in many cases), but seriously saying that he can hear in such range an notice a 1 bit difference in a 147 dB dynamic range makes no sense. With the same gain, if you hear the 1 bit, then the 24bits will kill you, even if played later and if the 24 bits don't kill you, the amp gain is such that the 1 bit, you can't hear it. Anyway, another late post that should have stayd on my computer :) LMS 7.7.2 - 5 radio, 3 Boom, 4 Duet, 1 Touch, 1 SB2.
