I use 24/96 for audio editing... lets me crank volumes, settings, etc without major feedback, clipping and so on... not to mention that the sound's a hell of a lot richer. If something works out well I'll save it in several different bit depths 24/96 for a reference file and 16/48 and 24/48 for sequencing. DVDs are 48. {Stock} I'd like to sequence at higher bitrates but I tend to wonder how many folks home stereo can do anything worthwhile with 24/96. ...Surround, on the other hand bears exploration. Everyone's got it... not a lot of folk author for it. {as far as bands go anyway... spacialization, putting the rumble on both sides of the listener, having that floaty/sparkly noise swim in front of their face and throwing spears of reverberating high frequency stuff at them from the center channel, etc...}
