From our experience, the quality of recording and mastering are the paramount factors effecting sound quality (not to mention performance itself....).
It seem to me both theoretically and experimentally that for Hi-Rez playback the most important is not bit depth (e.g. 24 bit vs 32 bits) but sampling rate. Perhaps for this reason, today, DSD playbacks are best sounding provided everything else is equal
