Is 24 bit audio a meme?

Yes, next question.

No it isn't

>>62170791
Maybe

>>62170791
Yes.

the human ear can hear 24 bit per second

In some instances.

>>62170969
Dam ..

>>62170791
For listening 16bit is enough

Yes its a meme, It's better for hoarding if you have the space.

>>62170791
anything more than 8 bit audio is a meme

i heard doges can hear over 32 bites

Not a meme in production.

Watch this comfy video to get the understanding.

Dogs can hear above 20kHz, you fucking cretin.
Nothing to do with bites.

>>62170791
>muh voltage states
>muh quantizizization

>>62171226
dogs bite very hard though
what's your problem man

I visit HiFi exhibitions sometimes and have some friends with high quality equipment, so my answer is obviously not. If you can play it on something that is capable of producing rich sound, you will hear the difference.
To listen it on your piece of shit computer speaker or cheap headphone it is just a waste of space.

>you will hear the difference
Bullshit.
Debunked a million times in double blind tests.

>>62170791
No. Digital volume control steals 1 bit for every 3db.

>>62170791

Yes, it's a meme.

24 bit is useful for microphones. For example, when the singer sings a little bit louder at a time, or. when the engineer sets the recording level of a microphone a bit wrong. The extra 8 bits are normally used as headroom for manipulation of the record.

Now, for playing? It's plain stupid, the human hear can't reach 16 bits, much less 24 bits, which is way more!

>>62170969
Damn

24 bit will have a lower noise floor and better dynamic range

I didn't even know audio could be measured in bits

"For you". It allows high-res resampling and it's useful e.g. when applying "normalization" passes as required by industry standards. While only up-sampling (if you don't have a decent master) is really required ( up to 192 kHz minimum ) for the necessary accuracy in finding True Peaks, a bit resolution higher than 16 will help in the accuracy of the quantization process.

Outside of the production process, it's a meme. Users have some added bit depths that means nothing. I've seen rippers saving their rips in 24bit despite the fact that it can be proven that one could switch from 16 to 24 back and forth in a lossless fashion, given that the actual bit depth in CDs is 16 and switching to 24 will just make the uncompressed file slightly bigger. Some online resellers are giving out master at actual 24bits (you won't switch from 16 to 24 back and forth in a lossless fashion), SACDs and DVDs. But such a bit depth is suitable only for nerds or for someone who really wants to use AES (not the crypto, the audio standard) or EBU applied to their waveform in some homemade post-process tinkering. Maybe they want to add the sound of weeping whales to their favourite binaural jav porn
