Can Zune HD zune me 24-bit?

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
In the tech specs it says Zune HD supports up to 48kHz audio, but can it play 24-bit? Or it's limited to 16-bit and there is no sense resampling 44.1kHz to 48kHz.

It plays WMA Lossless, which supports 24-bit.

Yeah, but I've read somewhere that Zune's support is limited to 16bit/48kHz. However, maybe the older models were meant.
Indeed, it supports WMA 9.2 Lossless, but doesn't it downsample it to 16bit if I try to play 24bit, so that there's actually no benefit in converting to 24bit?

Another article which made me doubt about it is here The Zune HD is Only HD to a Point*|*Technologizer (find where he's talking about 24-bit).

If you are starting with 16/44.1, converting to 24/48 will not yield any additional resolution.
