OK. I myself used 32-bit data for everything. I think that's what you're referring to.
But for the sake of the thread, which is about interfaces that can record 32-bit float, there needs to be the understanding that the interface itself can't record in that resolution, it's physically impossible.
For "location" recording, there can be a ranging scheme that uses 32-bit float to capture multi-resolution, essentially. But the recording resolution is less.
For typically studio recording, there are 24-bit converters that may use 32-bit as the transport. Sometimes, marketing calls a DAC that uses using 32-bit filter math "32-bit".
You never record more than 24-bit. (You never actually record even 24-bit, the physical limits max out somewhere between 20-22 bits.)
