We're completely committed to delivering the highest possible audio quality. And the current 64-bit audio engine does exactly that.
To put it bluntly, anyone trying to argue to the contrary doesn't understand how computers work.

Then why does WASAPI even style sound different to MANY people than normal WASAPI and ASIO? it's all bit perfect?
Why does a CD transport sending the same bit stream to a DAC via SPDIF sound VERY different to USB from a computer, it's all bit perfect. Why is the need for asych USB devices when adaptive does the same job? why is there obvious differences between USB cables? why does turning off CPU spread spectrum in my computer bios change the sound for the better? why do sound differences exist between different audio player software? Why does turning off CPU/hardware power management on my computer result in a more focused sound? Why have Hifi companies claimed and convinced people that different CD transports are better than others? it shouldn't be, it's all 1's, 0's right?

So why don't you specify your method of going from 16 bit to 24 bit? How do you imagine that happens?

Ahhh but does someone who understand computers know how marketing works? ;D Last time on this topic we joked that you could charge a premium for a "Pure Direct" button in MC (I even have that button on my Yami amp and while I don't personally believe it is any "better" it is certainly "different").
Put a "Pure Direct" button into TheaterView under the "Audio" category and I bet many will argue that it is better. It will also solve the discussion started by raym on a WAF way of outputting 2.0 when you have the DSP set to 5.1 for everything else.

i for one would want this, because, i believe, it will make a difference. a direct mode button that 'bypasses' internal processing and directly links decoded data directly to your 2ch very expensive hardware and hifi.. wow. i need that.... as long as i can still select 24bit at the end for my USB DAC.. audiophile options are very welcome.
