Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

About Checksum vs. +/- Sign--that bit is still not available for music data, right?

CD is 16 bit PCM audio.

Might it be you are mixing up CD and S/PDIF?
S/PDIF is a 32 bit word with 24 bits reserved for audio and a 8 bit preamble. One of this 8 bits is a parity bit so the receiver can check the integrity of the data.
