Hmmm...I would open them in a wav file editor like cool edit pro and see what the *actual* bit depth is.
You can record at 32 bit and resample to 32 bit but often the file is 24 bit or even 16 bit. Recording software set to 32 bit will only record 32 bit if the hardware supports this bit depth. This is why files *saved* as 32 bit may have lower *actual* bitdepths. Of course, you can GENERATE 32 bit files...
As for playback? I don't think you're going to find too many 32 bit dacs.
Is this material upsampled?
I thought only processing was done at 32 or 64 bit... not playback.
Cheers,
Presto
