Yeah, don't mean to quibble, ...but the only thing that is "Cd quality"
is 16 bit uncompressed PCM, as you say here, WAV or AIFF or SDII.
The phrase "near-CD quality" was a marketing hype (fairly accurate,
though) in the early days of MP3 and it got corrupted to "CD quality"
but is not so. Mayhap I protest too much, but it matters to me at
least.
My preferred recording is 24 bit and that is the minimum for
professional recording, even if destined for CD release. But that is
another topic entirely... Whatever, as you say!
