Audio Aéro Prestige Signature DAC/SACD player: 24 bits?

« on: September 12, 2017, 10:08:35 am »

I get the impression that this DAC is one of the rare cases that, at >16 bits, needs to be set at needing 24 bits. Can anyone confirm this from experience or knowledge?

Dennis, not me. But it isn't really rare, I'd say.
