I work in pro audio and can hear the difference in 16bit and 24bit. audio Saying that, I also think 28bit would be overkill being CD audio is only 16bit. Perhaps what was meant was 28kbps as in mp3 audio

Even for music, while someone might put up a point-to-point microwave link or similar that happens to have that level of fidelity, I don't think there's any commercial music broadcast system in the world that comes anywhere close to that sort of SNR -- assuming levels and mixing have been done properly, there's no human being on the planet who can discern the difference between 28-bit music and 24- or 20-bit... and darned few who could even tell the difference at 16 bits! __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 5419 (20100902) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 5419 (20100902) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 5421 (20100903) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com
