I have a brief listening in a CD shop and thought the 24bit download will be better in terms of sound quality.
The 24 bit download is a disappointment sound wise. With all these talents, I thought the recording cannot be bad. What are these guys thinking. All these efforts and all these super stars, but a low quality in recording (or maybe mixing). What a waste.

The "more is better" does not apply to digital audio.... I've never heard a 24-bit recording that I thought sounded better than CD. My theory is the added bit switching adds RFI, the number one killer of music enjoyment (IMO) in audio playback.

As long as RFI is not addressed in high-resolution digital audio playback, disappointments with 24-bit playback will be the rule, not the exception.
As mostly a lurker here I have seen how knowledgeable you are about music but about playback sound quality not so much:
"The "more is better" does not apply to digital audio" does not follow from
"I've never heard a 24-bit recording that I thought sounded better than CD".
All that it implies is that you haven't listened much or on the right equipment to 24-bit recordings. I have heard a good number that are distinctly better and so have many others. Check out the Computer Audio forum here. Of course, a good number don't, also.
