it means analog source of this radio studio very good, maybe vynil, tape or even master tape! hehe.. master tape is archive in storage, make Vinyl/CD/SACD/DVDA... from it. we will try buy it, haha. millions $
24/88100, 24/96000, 24/192000 resolutions of course better, more sound signal for DAC creating analog wave, in theory wave is better.
but when playing them, software and DAC have problems or not? the first big size, big stream => more latency, need extrem processing for reading/writing, very much data. 1 frame of one channel = 24bit = 3byte, i don't know how CPU understand its value for needed calculation, => convert it to 32bit = 4bytes (it is long, int, int32, UINT32,...) by pad left zeros to it and signification (plus, minus) of value. if player does'nt make it then DAC must be do this convert, maybe. not good solution, here's 8 bits are redundant.
but there's 24 bits for wave amplitude value are enough, does'nt need 32 bits. 32 bits better but only little, not much. i see people usually use 24/192, not 32/192, not bebefit for storage, big file size. if use 32bits then good for player/DAC, but bad for storage/upload/download. i feel for 96000, 192000 rates, 24 bits are enough for wave signal value. but 3 bytes are'nt basic variable in programing.
hehe, problem, problem, JC.
get best 16/44100 of best mastering of best companies as EMI,... think that now.
