He and others who have heard the difference favor the 20 bit. They claim the sound with 24 bit is thinner and less dynamic. His system is comprised of the BAT 75SE amp and BAT 50SE pre-amp.

Rich, full, and liquid. Matbe the most musical player I've ever heard. If all the other stuff out there seems analytical and cold, then this is the baby for you. By the way--I don't mean it does do a superb job on detail. Very deep soundstage. I can't afford one and this truly sucks!
