but then, the rarely if ever are.
The difference between 24 bit and 32 bit is likely zero, all other things being equal. OK if one wishes to listen to 'brownian' motion, 32 bit might be your encoding choice.
I suppose it should not be surprising that truncation has less audible than 'dithering'. Pretty sure my early PCM1704 based R2R Ladder DAC 'truncated' bits even with 24 bit files.
Always like the sound of that DAC and wish I hadn't sold it.
I'll give the files a listen and doubt I will be able to discern any differences.
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
