Some samples of different dithering plug-ins, should help you decide whether to use CEP internal dithering, get a plug-in, or switch to Wavelab for UV22HR:
http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=51478.0No need to go through all that for tracking in CEP. Easiest way to track, IMO:
CD-Wave. Track, save the cue sheet for reference, and then Save the tracks as individual files. When working with 24-bit files, make sure to tick the Use Alternate 24-bit Format checkbox in the Save window. Try it, and if you like it, it's well worth the $15 shareware price, IMO.
Otherwise, if you're intent on sticking with CEP - I know there's a way to do it, I just don't remember how, precisely. It's probably in the Help file, though. I've found CEP has an excellent Help file.
FWIW, a post on
24-bit workflow in CEP/Audition.
