The point is that there really is no advantage for the end listener with 24 bit audio files. This is especially true with the current state of things where albums are being produced with the dynamic range squashed (i.e. the loudness war).
What I would love to see is CD quality (16 bit 44.1 kHz) lossless audio made available for purchase on a wider scale. There will be those that insist that 24 bit is better than 16 bit. I've read forum threads where people insisted recordings of vinyl made with 24 bit samples sounds better than 16 bit samples. People will hear what they want to hear. If 24 bit files are the path forward for readily available lossless audio, then so be it. However, it would be overkill IMHO. -- maggior Rich --------- Setup: 2 SB3s, 4 Booms, 1 Duet, 1 Receiver, 1 Touch, iPeng on iPod Touch.
