If you normalise (as requested) the samples your
16-bit samples will be
'stretched' (in magnitude) to cover the 24-bits spanning 0 to 1 in
floating-point - hence those bits will be non-zero.
Thanks, understood. And you've also answered what would have been my
next question - "what is normalise?" Never came across that in my
analogue days.
