Yeah, the second approach that Rob proposed:

+-----+ +-----+ +----------------+/ | MAD | --32--> | DSP | --32--> dither --16--> | Output Plug-in |- audio +-----+ +-----+ +----------------+\

can only be used with plug-ins that output 32 bits. I don't think any current CD reader plug-ins output 24 or 32 bits, so someone would have to write one first.

(2) the DSP plug-in can be used with other input sources, not just MPEG audio

Just for the above reason alone, I think we should go for the 2nd

method;-)

Imagine, CD audio playback at 24bit!
