I prefer anything compressed in OGG over FLAC or WAV.
Even 128kbps MP3 is epic sometimes. (TO my ears it betters any other settings for MP3)
But remember we're all playing from computer based sources here. Only when you play it directly from optical media in a CD player does it sound better to play it that way.
So I think that its how the computer handles the codec and gives it to the soundcard which is causing all of our woe.

I guess those royalty rates are an excellent reason for supporting alternative open source codecs. (Both lossy and lossless)
Don't worry, there are no ADC/DAC capable of real 24 bit resolution. They all top at some 18-20dB. The rest of the bits are just noise and distortions (THD+N).
20 bits is plenty. 24 is for marketing.

Maybe I'm missing something, but they seem awfully cheap to me, especially compared to the cost of a pro DAW that incorporates the encoder.
