3. NEW: Added WASAPI option "Present 24-bit data in a 32-bit package".

please you can add "Bits Per Sample" in available library fields, like Sample Rate for example...

in my opinion if I want search HD audio in collection, I should use this parametr instead of Sample Rate..

thanks

It's there now.  Add the column "Bit Depth" to your view.

And with fancy headphones in a stone silent room I can't really hear past about 14 bits.  

If you're doing DSP work, more bits makes sense since there may be multiple passes and each pass introduces aliasing.  But for the final render (i.e. the CD you buy), 16 bits represents a huge dynamic range.

It'd be fun to make a DSP plugin that just chopped off bits so a person could listen to 12 bit vs 14 bit, 16 bit vs 20 bit, etc. on the fly.

thanks for quick reply Matt!
my mistake, I think what "Bit Depth" it only for picture files

But for the final render (i.e. the CD you buy), 16 bits represents a huge dynamic range.

small report how I use HD audio, if this interesting:
I will make vinyl rip on good hardware(at friend studio) in 24/48, and listen at my open-type headphone beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO with amplifier and EMU 0202 USB in ASIO mode. And I think I hear the difference from CD, but perhaps it esoterics))
I think what CD-Audio is not good standard (44.1, 16 bit, bad error corrections - good only for Sony )) and
Love vinyl like old natural sound and hi-res digital (DVD-Audio, Flac 24/48, old DAT cassettes) as new era sound. CD intermediate format and must die soon)
24 bit for sound - like 32 instead of 20bit for color I think ). And it can try in photo.net, using the appropriate display)

If you're doing DSP work, more bits makes sense since there may be multiple passes and each pass introduces aliasing.  But for the final render (i.e. the CD you buy), 16 bits represents a huge dynamic range.

use DSP in MC only in my car system, for resampling all in 48kHz for carbus spdif input instead of soundcard driver resampling. In all other cases, I prefer a bit in the bit playback.

It'd be fun to make a DSP plugin that just chopped off bits so a person could listen to 12 bit vs 14 bit, 16 bit vs 20 bit, etc. on the fly.

It will be very interesting. I think bit depth - it main differences in CD and vinyl (ok-ok, and harmonic distortion )), but maybe Im wrong..

ups but it not worked..

Bit Depth always 16 in this view, but i have many 24 files

MC can detect some, but not all file formats. I think it is best to just tag the files. For instance, you can use the Encoding Settings field and simply type the file properties there.

up!

it's very important in my high-end audiophile environment )
i can not understand, why this not worked and should not be worked.

14.0.33 and later (available in a week or so):
Changed: FLAC files did not fill in the 'Bit Depth' field (requires Update Library (from tags) to correct).

Excellent thanks

Yea!  Thank you.
