Heh, I’m glad it’s not just me. ![biggrin.gif]()
Although I welcome higher precision, I still take issue with descriptions like these:
Logic that extrapolates conclusions about sound quality from measurements is not in line with TOS #8 – especially when the reported differences lie beyond the 16th bit – so I’d advise readers not to take this seriously.

Why does Apollo sound so good?
The sound quality has always been an important factor when making decisions in the decoder code. Recent addition of 32-bit and 24-bit output has resulted in further improvements in the quality. To prove this, I measured the difference of Apollo 37zm 24-bit output to the MPEG-1 audio layer 3 compliance test reference signal […] Of course, this only goes for the provided test signal, but it should give some picture about the sound quality.
