RE: Why do you, or anyone, want a 32 bit audio recording?

It's 32 bit floating point and allows a greater precision while doing certain dsp to the files. Users doing vinyl ripping like to eq to compensate for cart imperfections, normalize, declick, resample, dither down etc. There is quite a bit of dsp going on. People are claiming they can hear it sometimes. For example, sample rate conversion algorithms create noise people claim to hear unless way way down. I'm not a golden ear who can hear this but many many mastering engineers swear by this doing higher res math. My daw even goes so far as converting to 64 bit for the math operations if I choose to work that way.
