To pick a nit, though, there are plenty of audio hardware devices
which can use all 24 bits of precision. 32-bit float actually has
25 bits of precision when you include the implied "1" bit in the
mantissa, and thus it's true to say that no audio hardware can make
use of all 25 bits of available precision. I'll assume this was
just a typo below.
32-bit floats have 23 bits of mantissa (8 exponent, 1 sign). The 24-
bit precision already includes the implied leading 1.
