So, not to be stupid, the CAL is 18 bit....Would the Entech, by definition boost the signal to 24 bit resolution?

That is, without knowing the Entech specifically, the fact that a DAC says "24/192" only means necessarily that it can decode an incoming 24/192 signal, not that it upsamples say a 16/44.1 to 24/192 or any higher resolution than the input. If a DAC does upsample, the blurb will usually mention that quite specifically.
