Default 24-bit on tap at Apple?

Real audiophiles insist on 32-bit DACs.


You mean real Audiophools :-)
However at least better DAC's still work well with 16 bit files, even if
NONE can deliver better than true 24 bit resolution in our universe, and I
know of no normal home that can really use more than true 16 bit (96dB) DNR,
or anybody that normally listens to music in a sound proof isolation booth
on a regular basis. And lets not even consider how many actual recordings
even *remotely* approach 16 bit DNR to begin with!
