Pure and simple. No real world A/D converter is useful much above 22 bits, so the 32 bits part is useful for minimizing the one bit to 22+ bit conversion quantization errors that a DSD A/D converter side steps all together. Ya pays ya money, ya takes ya choice. At least it's High Res, but to me, it's not what I hear from a Meitner A/D edited with a Sonoma. It still has that PCM edge and reduction of space when heard through quality electrostatic speakers. All IMHO.
The larger issue to me is that every performance recorded is a one time priceless event, which will be listened to for centuries to come. Shouldn't the most transparent format be used? Thankfully almost every acoustic event is now recorded in MC.
