You can create a cd with 24 bit sound by simply
saving your wav pattern at this range...not all
programs are capable...for instance fruity loops I
believe is capable you just have to change your save
settings from the defaulted 16 bit to 24 bit....and
the cd players I speak of are rare.  But you can check
out these special order ones....Crap they had one
listed for over 4 GRAND!  Check this link out! Check
out the Signal to Noise ratio specs it is called a
"Crane Home Theater" <100 nanoseconds; DYNAMIC RANGE: 
130 dB; NOISE FLOOR: < -135 dB; THD+N:.006; SIGNAL TO
NOISE RATIO: 130  dB; CHANNEL SEPARATION: >130 dB

We can all learn from this....look at those specs. 
But this is no magic, once you save audio wav samples
at that rate, their file size doubles/triples
depending on what bit rate you translate to...so a
average 14 song cd could only fit 7 tracks.   Oh, and
I was only referring the Audigy Platinum because of
its ease to get.  I know some people don't have a
great access to music shops...so if they wanted a card
that worked OK, I know that if they can find a
CompUSA, Best Buy, or Circuit City, they can get their
hands on one since some people still don't trust
online ordering.  And that is ONLY IF they wanted to
try a 24bit capable card VS a 16 bit only card that
they probably have now.

But 24 bit cd players as you can see, do exist....they
are just High priced as all to be damned!!

Stay cool Realm...Peace
