You can create a cd with 24 bit sound by simply
saving your wav pattern at this range...

>>>Yes, but a 24 bit wav file on a CDR is not a 24 bit audio CD.  In order 
to comply with the red book standard, all audio data that will be stored 
on a regular must be 16/44.1.  If you look at the link you provided for 
the CD player below, it does not play 24 bit CDs (which don't exist), but 
it will UPSAMPLE the CD data to those specs.  Big difference. <<<

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....

>>>Definitely, I always work at 24 bits in SX. <<<

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

>>>Yeah, but they can only play 16 bit CDs. <<<

Stay cool Realm...

>>>Not starting anything, trying to clarify some points :) There's no such 
this as a 24 bit audio CD.  The closest we can hope for right now is the 
formal acceptance of the DVD-A spec, which would provide audio playback of 
files up to 24/184 if I remember correctly (the sample rate might be 
higher).  Of course, this is only in DVD format, I doubt we'll ever see 
CDs with file sizes like that. <<<

You know....you are absolutelty right.  Awesome, they
would have to stick to 16/44.1 to keep the redbook cd
standard.  But what do you think about SACDs? They are
2822.4, 64 times regular cd quality...I wonder if we
can actually hear that kinda difference to that degree
with the naked ear.  Think it'll be a new adopted
format...or a flop?  Or will it just take a
while(probably long while)?  

Thanks Realm,

Will

Keep in mind SACD's are at only 1 bit too (maybe two, it's been awhile 
since I read the specs), so comparing them to regular audio CDs or even 
DVD-A's is not as easy as that. 

SACD vs DVD-A.
The big debate between manufacturer's right now, and even with the 
universal standards orginization.  Right now, neither of them has been 
adopted as "the" standard, so both manufaturing camps are rushing to try 
and flood the market with both, so that the winner will be whoever has the 
most product out there.  Beta vs VHS all over again?  Hard to say.  I've 
heard both and think that they sound comparible (which is to say superb, 
if your playback equipment is up to it!).  Either way, it won't be until 
car audio manufacturer's support one or the other that we'll see broad 
market penetration of either IMHO.  Personally, I'd rather see DVD-A win 
out, as there will be greater compatibility with the DVD-V market being so 
huge now.  Sony should have learned with their MDs....
