I still wonder if there is any point to this, but it now exists for 32bit @ 192ks/s audio.
This would be nice for recording, but it will certainly be a challenge for (analog) amplifier builders! Or perhaps for an analog front end for a Class D power amplifier. I would think that power supply noise would be a serious issue trying to get that much S/N -- a switcher is going to need an analog regulator follower. Push pull Class D is said to have better power supply rejection -- controversial subject. IAC, it is not possible to directly drive a Class D amp with that much digital data; it would be: 824.6 THz. I think that that is getting into far infrared.
