The FAQ says:
"audio is recorded in 96 KHz/16 bit quality"
I would prefer 48 KHz/24 bit.
let's not discuss matters of taste, but rather keep things scientific.
96/16 = 6
48/24 = 2
so theirs is clearly 3x better than yours!
Of course! Hertz per bit... Or is it bit per hertz?
What's better for marketing? More bits of more hertz?
More per bit per second!
They might have very pragmatic reasons: if they know their equivalent
input noise is at 30 dB SPL and their capsules barf at 120, then
restricting the word length to 96 dB is a perfectly reasonable decision,
given the extremely cramped space and the thermal challenges inside the
sphere. It does not leave much room for error though, so they better get
their analog gains right.
