In Reply to: that doesn't prove anything about 16 bit vs 24 bit. posted by fmak on April 22, 2014 at 00:20:43:
Fred, since you are so knowledgeable, please tell us how you would have generated the 16 bit files from 24 bit versions. Would you have used dither? If so, what version and why did you select this one? If no, then why did you make this decision?
The Rotel 990 includes an HDCD decoder. HDCD uses non-standard decoding of 16 bit samples. (The process uses subtractive dither. See linked thread.) The HDCD format offers no sonic benefit over regular PCM unless the special decoder is used. Given that nearly all 16 bit recordings use standard linear PCM encoding and do not require proprietary decoders most people would exclude formats requiring proprietary decoders from 24 bit vs. 16 bit comparisons.
