I can only speak in behalf of OMAP, twl4030, tlv320dac33 here, but the
24msbit only applies to 32bit samples. In case of 16 bit the samples are
not converted in any way, they are processed as 16 bit data.
So if we say 24msbit for 16bit sample we are not correct. It is correct
for 32bit sample.
I would think most of the codecs/cpus are working in a same way.
