Richard,

Are you copying from CDs or DVDs?

If it's CDs (and you can play them in any CD player.. IE NOT DTS discs) then they are 16bit discs. They may say they are 20bit but thats just marketing speak... it has to do with dithering that is applied to the signal to try to lower the noise floor to achieve specs. similiar to a true 20bit master.

"There is no analog process there, unless you convert the track to a ".wav" file first."

Actually, you can covert to WAV files without going analog too. You need digital audio extraction (ripper) programs. They read the data of a CD and write it as a file for you. No conversion is needed, though some CD-ROMs don't do this very well.
