Re: changing word length

"Can any benefit be realized by changing the word length of a 16/48 recording to 24/48?"

None whatsoever. If the word is padded with zeros, there should be no effect sonically. If the word is somehow "augmented" with random values, it would change the sound, but never improve it. For the "resolution" being added has zero correlation with the resolution lost during the encoding process.
