I'll take the 24-bit tracks. Even the audio stacks on PC and Mac deal with 24-bit data better. Less distortion added IME.Changing 16-bit data to 24-bit with padding even sounds better IME. Why do you thing that Sonos went to the trouble of changing 16-bit 44.1 to 24-bit 44.1? Sounds better.Steve N.

I might be mistaken, but I thought when I recently checked their website, the specs still say 16-bit.

So....I posed the question (see below) directly to SONOS. They responded that their system is 16-bit. So, I'm not sure what all of this means, or perhaps I am not fully understanding this concept. But I have a very practical reason for seeking clarification as those hi-rez discs are not cheap!
