Why would you need a 4k video when your only display is 1080P? Same thing goes for audio. Your ears are only capable of hearing a subset of what is reproducible with 16 bit audio, no need for 24 bit. It is all well explained in this article: https://xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/neil-young.html https://xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/neil-young.html The only time you'd ever need more than 16 bits is if you're going to do more than just listen to the music. If you're mixing/mastering that is another story.
