@nerdtronics@mstdn.starnix.network BTW I think you shouldn't be too picky about bit depth as it only affects dynamic range. It is important for classical music and acoustic instruments in general because the difference between most quiet and the most loud sounds is great and everything in between should remain nuanced. EDM music on other hand is often compressed to reduce dynamic range and mastered to have particular level, so it's not that important.

Probably not. Even CD quality of 44 kHz 16-bit has most of our ears covered😅
I do like the music I have on HDCDs: Tool's Lateralus and several King Crimson records. Those are 18 bit, but it's probably a matter of good sound engineering and proper mastering. Anyway, I sometimes do enjoy music in a quiet room, and what if today I can't feel the difference, but the next day I can? I prefer extra resolution to just be there so I don't have to think about it😄
