Lately I've been seeing quite a bit of 24bit/44.1kHz recordings (aka files) being promoted as high resolution audio. Since going from 16bit/44.1kHz to 24bit/44.1kHz would only change the AVAILABLE dynamic range of a given recording, as opposed to actually increasing or even changing the dynamic range of the music on the recording, should 24bit/44.1kHz really be considered "high resolution" audio or plain old marketing? And more importantly, would or could a 24bit/44.1kHz file sound any different from a 16bit/44.1kHz file of the same recording? Any thoughts?
