[QUOTE="sajunky, post: 1059231, member: 22308"] 24-bit audio is not 24-bit and it will never be. It goes beyond a Johnson noise. 24-bit is a [b]resolution[/b], it has something to do with [b]accuracy[/b], but not the same. As an engineer, you should be able to differentiate these terms.The best professional A/D converters pick 20-bit accuracy maximum while producing 24-bit output format. Studio will expand it further to 32-bit, even 64-bit, it is useful for reducing digital errors during mixing and DSP processing, though the latest trend is DXD which is 32-bit floating format, also a convenient archiving format. Once mastering is done, all these bits above 20-bit are redundant. It can be used for watermarking to identify source of a leak, while watermarking is usually more intrusive affecting sound quality, as it is designed to survive common compression schemes. [/QUOTE]
