Wavepack conversion
tunetyme:
I think that defines the problem. The next question is how do I convert from 32 bit to 24 or back to a WAV format where I can convert it to 24 bit? Any Ideas?

If MC can't play the file without distortion, it's not going to be able to re-encode it.
The only other approach I can think of would be the external encoder option with the "use source file as-is" option checked. The thing is you'd need some external program that was capable of reading and re-encoding the files and if you had that with a GUI it'd likely be easier to just use it for conversion instead of command-lining something into the external encoder option.

Here are some 192/32 samples:
http://cid-138ca589c542aeee.office.live.com/browse.aspx/MC%20stuff/32bit%5E_samples
- Four 192 kHz/32-bit wav files in one rar package (41 MB) and two 192 kHz, 32-bit wavpack files in another rar package (17 MB). (MS Skydrive has a limit of 50 MB / file.)
The audio content is identical in all sample files. I saved them with Adobe Audition v.3.
Wave: three different float formats and one 32-bit integer format
WavPack: Two float formats, type 1 and type 3
I attached screenshots of the format options.

I tried dBpoweramp and foobar2000 with my "32-bit float type 1" file. dBpoweramp didn't work. It produced the same distorted output as MC. However, foobar was able to play the file without distortion and convert to other formats.
I don't know if your files are in the same format as my "type 1" file, but you could try foobar. Adobe Audition would be another option. It is an expensive program, but you can install the trial. (The wavPack plugin for Audition is available here: http://www.wavpack.com/downloads.html.)

Thnaks AlexB! I will try out Audition.
