Question to play 24 bits files ??


Hi guys,
I have a friend that has a lot of audio files in 24 bits. He will be able to transfer them to an external hard drive for me. I have a PC with window media player which I believe isn't able to reach 24 bits. I will also need a DAC but since I don't have any idea how to to do it, I would like some of you give me some advice, reference or idea about how to do it. Do I need an special media player ?? Software?? Program ?? Please, explain me.
Thanks a lot,
Jorge.

I have a friend going through the same thing. He bught a Burson HA160d DAC and is using windows until he gets his Mini Mac.
He likes the DAC very well, but he's frustated with the learning curve of the computer music.
There are some very good programs out there for downloading High Rez music, I'm not to up on it but you will get help on the type of programs that are best.
I wish you luck. Have fun.
What file format are the 24 bit audio files in? Windows Media Player does support 24 bit audio. It does not support all hi-res file types. FLAC is not supported without the addition of a plug-in.
you don't want to utilized Windows Media Player as your playback software. use JRiver software to playback files...the PC audio people use that alot....go to the Computer Audiophile website and also Well Tempered Computer website....all your questions will be answered.
