In Reply to: 24 bit BUT 44.1 KHz(?) "Hi Res" from HDTracks. SQ compared to 16bit/44.1? posted by Jon L on June 2, 2015 at 08:59:44:
I don't buy into the 24 bit 44.1 rates. The expanded noise floor is at the bottom of the dynamic range as "0" is still "0" and the theoretical 96 db is just that, theoretical. If you can hear some advantage I am happy for you. I doubt you can even buy a good 16 bit converter anymore, can you? A dynamic range of -144 db to -96 is of little consequence.
If on my own recordings I can get to -75db noise floor I am happy, and that is without a noise gate.
