24 bit files is a great news, I'd pay double if the original files were recorded, mixed and mastered in 24 bit and offered at some 48 kHz and above. Unfortunately, many 16 bit CDs are rendered to 24 bit and sold as if they are HD, which is not true.
Wow, that is wack then. Agree on the HD versus non-HD lossless, of course. Beyond 44.1/16, I really start to wonder if we could hear a difference in the car with either system. Perhaps totally stationary, but probably not moving at all, would be my guess. Regardless, I'd really like any high end car audio system to support top quality, lossless, HD media.
