I am giving thought to trying to implement the ability to play 24/xxx files on my sound system. I am very cautious, maybe overly so, because I have many questions and not many answers I trust.
My questions are:
1) Frankly, how much better is it? Not theoretically but in real practice?
2) Is it a myth that many times a track said to be 24/xxx either isnt (just a 24 bit version of a 16 bit original), or it is, but the masterings can often times be inferior negating most of the sonic superiority you were after in the first place?
3) How critical is its implementation into your system? My fear is many will claim this and that works fine, only to find out later from someone like Jon that its cr@p (compliments to Jon here).
