Yesterday I was talking to the technical rep. at CoolEditPro and brought this
question up. He uses Sound Blaster and said that as long as you were
transferring data at 44.1, 16 bit this matched the internal speed of the card
and you should not have "dithering." Problems arise when you transfer in from
a higher sampling rate. So, if you are transferring in via coax from DAT
directly to the sound card there should be no dithering. Does this sound
correct?
Thanks for your help!
Sincerely,
John
