I really wish my DAP could play my super high quality 24 bit 96khz Flac recordings. These are soooo wonderful to listen to, and they actually make CD & DAT quality recordings sound pretty shitty. I know it is possible to decode with a fairly standard FLAC codec, because Winamp will play them just fine, and I haven't upgraded my Winamp Codecs in nearly 9 months.
I personally think that we all have to gear up for the inevitable transition to 96khz. Whether we're talking 2ch, 5.1 or 7.1 even, the future lies in higher quality tunes. SACD's, DVD-A's, and other formats are just the beginning. With the Holodisk coming, we're heading for a quantum leap in sound quality.
I've been messing around with recording music in 24 bit, as my latest studio equipment supports this, but now that Hard Drives are getting bigger and faster and cheaper, I may move into recording exclusively in 24bit/ 96khz. (Of course, I'll still have to downmix to 16bit/44.1khz stereo for CD which isn't going to disappear any time soon)
