It's not about whether output is going to be 8, 16, 24 or even 32 bit.
It's about the dynamic range (i.e. the booming lows) of Fairlight, and 
using quality components available today it's quite possible to exceed 
it - I applaud Peter for taking a chance and resurrecting CMI (I've
been waiting 13 years for that) ;-).

But like Rob said, there ever gonna be purists and that believe that 
there's a liquid that improves CD playback quality... The truth is, if 
one didn't have CMI and listerned it thru separate outputs, will not 
know the difference even if its sample would be played by Mirage - 
when properly engineered... My 2c worh...
