The 32 bit issue is one thing. The other thing is whether CLIPPING will translate. And it doesn't, it really screws up post processing. Low end DACs and CD players sound really bad with clipped material. MP3's can really degrade with clipped material because the spread spectrum and ultra high frequency content caused by the clipping makes it impossible to do a good coding. And broadcasts of clipped material tend to sound bad for similar reasons.
Read Orban's paper which you'll find in the back of my book and somewhere on the Internet, and Thomas Lund's paper on 0 dBFS+ at the TC website.
