Burn it to CD?  Nope, not gonna happen.  CD standard is 16-bits, 44.1kHz sample rate.  24/96 = 24-bit, 96kHz sample rate, incompatible with the CD standards.

You could try burning DVD-A (though you need very expensive s/w to do it), OR you could burn it to the audio track on a DVD with a fixed image for video (as with any relatively new tech, there's a learning curve associated with this activity, from what I gather).

Check the Archival Info section for a good thread on understanding A/D and D/A.
