It is a shame loosing precision at every plug-in stage.

Yes, sure. But I do wonder if this is more of a theoretical concern than a practical one.

The input/output/storage format is 24 bit these days.

Requantizing to 24 bit for every plugin can't be a good thing and I imagine it is audible with the right signals/monitoring.

Even if it wasn't audible, most DAWs offer double precision mix-bus, and people I've talked to have been saying that's what the market is demanding for a couple of years. VST has it. Just based on these facts alone (lets call that a 'marketing concern') I'm surprised that AU doesn't support it as an option.

Just my 0.82 cents

R.
