DREAMGIRLS on Blu-ray

[Chad Varnadore]

Doh. My bad. I meant bitdepth. Based on my limited understanding of it all, you aren't likely to hear a difference unless in a very large room or an anechoic chamber; unless, maybe, in the case of Stomp the Yard, the master itself is 20bit and something is getting lost going to 16 for PCM. As I understand it, bit depth primarily affords more headroom for processing that most of us can't take advantage of in normal sized rooms. Of the 24bit PCM encodes that Disney has done, I can't say that I've heard an appreciable difference over their 16bit encodes. But comparing different mixes isn't a reliable sense of measure. Like I said, this should be an interesting comparison.
