To my mind, this "24-bit" effort on Apple's part is

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.
Right - notice the smoldering ashes of DVD-A and SACD.
