Nothing new here. MOST "common" 24 bit CD players may ACCEPT 24 bit input but will not actually pass that much information. Due to the noise floor being higher than what it needs to do so, the last few bits of resolution are lost. In order to achieve 24 bit resolution, your signal to noise ratio has to surpass 140+ db's. How many players, let alone amps & preamps can do that ? Sean >
