What are the specs of those 24 bit converters that cost thousands of dollars? An
audio AD converter just needs to be 44.1 kHz. That's rather slow for a ADC. Note
that if you use 8 times oversampling at the front-end, your AD converter runs on
44.1*8 Khz ie, 352kHz.
I know a 200 Mhz 24 bit ADC costs loads of money but a ADC that doesn't even run
on 1Mhz? They are normally very very cheap.
