Let me point that the original poster asks if there is any benefit of high bit depth for playback.
There is point to go for 32 bits during processing the audio (mixing, special effects etc) but not for final playback.

It isn't matter of point of view but the fact.

There is example of high quality ADC 24 bits which still has a real 20-21 bits.
