by "abuse" do you mean further digital processing?? If we're talking about playing it out the DAC to an analog process chain, unless the DAW app is "broken" then the differences should be imperceptible, if we're talking about comparing a 24bit file that has been truncated once (and only once) instead of dithered when requantized from a 32bit file.
