I can detect a very small difference between 16 bit and 24 bit processing
at 44.1KHz. But then I am among the maybe 1% of people for whom speaker
wire thicker than 16 guage is a relevant concern. Blessing or curse? If
for example your speaker wires are different lengths for the left and
right channels, and you don't notice a problem, the extra bits and
potential frequency response are not going to mean much.
I've put together an excellent, semi-high-end audio system, and for me it
was money well spent. However, any fool who thinks a stereo is going to
accurately reproduce the low end of a big pipe organ or the highest notes
of a violin probably deserves to be robbed of their money.
