If you record at -48dB using a 16 bit system, you're making an 8 bit recording. And when doing so with a 24 bit system, you're making a 16 bit recording. This is a contrived experiment that demonstrates nothing of practical value. I can't imagine anyone would be surprised that they sound different.
Back in the real world, the question is whether vinyl has sufficient resolution to require more than 16 bits of linear PCM to make a faithful recording - provided you use sensible recording levels. In my experience, it does not. -- cliveb Performers -> dozens of mixers and effects -> clipped/hypercompressed mastering -> you think a few extra ps of jitter matters? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34379 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
