32 bit audio makes no sense. A perfect example of marketing overriding whatengineering and human physiology tells us. It's useful internally for maintaining precision when doing signal processing on the audio, but for transmission it should be dithered back down to 24 bits, as that already exceeds the dynamic range of the ear (which is 120 dB, whereas 24 bit gives 144 dB).
