    The statement “32 bit WAV is better” is subjective and depends on the specific use case. Technically, a 32-bit WAV file can capture a wider dynamic range and has a higher sample rate than a 16-bit WAV file. However, the perceptible difference between them is not always noticeable, especially when it comes to human hearing. The larger file size and more Jason arduous editing process of 32-bit WAV files tend to make them less preferred in most situations, except for when recording very high-quality audio in a controlled environment.
