Sure, when you're editing music it can be helpful to have super high sample rates and lots of bits to work with. But for listening, it's just a waste of space.

Lots of pre-amps can do this in real time, and some installation audio systems do it as part of pre-processing (e.g. compression, limiter, etc).
