Why is there a need to process CD data in 32 bits when it ultimately will remain as 16 bit?
This was discussed multiple times all over.
Main reasons:
(a) Advised by all audio professionals and experts
(b) Most VST's work internally using 32 or 64 bit, and driving them with more data depth will just make 'work' them better
(c) Most important: Make a listening test yourself. We did many blind ones, and could tell the difference most of the time

But: If (after you tested yourself) you are happy with 16-bit, go for it. After all, this is just a guide, not a law

Also How does one label the files for Alaster's six recorder method
As written elsewhere, don't use 6 mono-recorders because that will lead do un-synched things in the beginning (wouldn't be an issue if it was at the end). Use 6-channel File Recorder (32-bit files), and the BeSweet v1.5b27+ to demux to 32-bit with option "-6chfloat".

Andreas
