: A nod to classic Rush, the clarity of the 24-96 audio showcases the bright guitar textures and clean vocal harmonies [1].
Around the mid-point of the track, the metal instrumentation drops away completely, leaving only a gorgeous, ambient orchestral arrangement. In 24-bit/96kHz FLAC, this section sounds utterly breathtaking. You can hear the physical bow hair scraping against the violin strings and the natural acoustic reflection of the recording studio. When the full band explodes back into the mix, the massive dynamic shift provides a genuine spine-chilling moment that is severely flattened on standard MP3 or streaming versions.

This dictates the dynamic range. While a 16-bit CD offers 96 decibels of dynamic range, 24-bit expands that to a massive 144 decibels.

The noise floor is nonexistent, allowing the subtlest nuances to emerge from total silence.
