"I just has more resolution with 24 bits versus 20."The only condition where wordlength affects resolution is if the input data is of higher wordlength (DVD-A) than the lesser DAC's max wordlength. Although in such cases, it would be more-accurate to say the 20-bit DAC loses resolution. (And most of the losses in 24 bits vs. 20 would be in the form of noise.)
For Redbook CD playback, all else being equal, a 24-bit DAC may sound slightly cleaner than the 20-bit DAC (due to more-precise interpolation), but the resolution would be almost identical. For the extra bits in CD playback are used solely for digital filtering.
