Hmm out of my 100 of so dvda i have one where the CD master is very likely the same ? I think I can here a small improvemement in favor of 24/96 ;) so it is not easy to compare. Also lets blow the myth that there is an abundance of recordings that can be " saved" by 24 bit , note that we are talking playback now recording should be done at very high sample and bitrates, post processing done with floating piont math and the consumer product can be a 24/96 pcm or 16/44.1 both made with proper dithering etc. So a good remaster/ mix from multitrack can be a real benefit for all music lovers, but has nothing to do whether it is presented as CD or hirez to us consumers. So rematered at 24 bit is also very good for the CD produced from it :) But the intrisinic sound quality of most recordings ever done is not better then the humble redbook CD ? But personally i act on the small benefit of a doubt I have experienced very good 24 bit. Playback and have a lot of files and DVDA's in the format . To be awesome a CD master must really be perfect, 24/96 leaves a healty slush margin for errors that in itself can be argument enough to have them. Some sound engineers may be more of skilled artist than having total awareness of whats really happens inside the shiny tools he uses and can thus be forgiven for minor technical errors that would not be fatal with a format like 24/96 , but rendeer a CD rather unispiring. Also DVDA had another thing discrete 24/96 multichannel that is awesome, had to be heard. It may rise from the dead as dolby true HD for bluray .
