I think it has something to do with lots of people using headphones which came with iPhone.
Edit: Google, my friend http://images.apple.com/euro/itunes/master..._for_itunes.pdf This post has been edited by WeePee: Aug 23 2013, 04:06 PM |

It basically means that you master for digital distribution using the Apple AAC lossless format. So instead of dithering to 16 bit 44.1 you can use the undithered 24 bit fixed file at any sampling rate from 44.1 up. Staying at 24 bit fixed means that you have more dynamic range. Note that a SR above 88.2 will not provde any sonic advantage. Transcoding can result in ISOs so there may well be distortion if your file is near to 0dBFS. You should also be aware that mastering to a pmcd for redbook for physical replication/duplication will mean that the CD can include the correct fades, x-fades, PQs, ISRcs and so on. Digital doesn't necessarily get these right. If you're not sure you should speak to your mastering engineer.
