24-bit isn't really the issue. A well-mastered 16-bit PCM recording
can sound truly wonderful... as a delivery mechanism, 16-bit linear
PCM seems entirely adequate to me.
You're right, of course. 24 bits in the "deliver mechanism" is
****ing stupid. Period.
Are people stupid enough to fall for it as "better"?
They haven't been so far.
