If it did something like dithering - that would be different - but AIUI it doesn't.Sure! that's why I used bit exact in quotes and didn't mention anything about lossless It will be a problem only on AVR that can take 24-bit input, but the DAC does 16-bit processing. It may apply dithering to all 24-bit input. Now, this shouldn't be a problem on most newer AVRs that have 24-bit/32-bit DACs.

Zero padding is lossless operation and can be reversed.
