Heh that's gonna foster arguements lol. But both mathmatically, scientifically and actual content-wise, no, there is no audible difference between the 32 and 24-bit acoustics. Many will argue 16-bit is all you'll ever need. But I hear very audible differences between 16-bit up to about 20-bit. The last bit of 24-bit audio is almost certainly "lost" in the electrical noise of single resistors. So 24-bit really does push the edge in every way.
Don't forget each bit doubles the available data, so the difference between 16-bit and 17-bit is huge. But the difference between 24-bit and 32-bit, while mathematically gigantic is for audible purposes zero.
