Sure it was a joke but similar nonsense has been printed in the high end audio press and no matter how many times it is shown that increasing the bit depth of a digital audio recording DOES NOT increase the dynamic range of the recording the nonsense just continues to snowball out of control. But then again, as stated by Julf (I believe), high end audio is now a luxury goods market and there is no group on earth that ignores science more than the wealthy buyers in any luxury goods market.
