Are you using Linn as DAC/analog out? The differences could be more obvious in that situation?

I have a KDS/1 and a KRDS, both used as DAC/analog out. I hear a clear difference with both of these. Your setup is very different because you are driving the DAC externally, and I suspect that transcoding would have less effect in this setup.

Exactly. Even in this situation there is a subjective impression of a easier flow of music when wav24 is enabled...I am not very inclined to many A/B comparisons, when I like the music, I just let go...
