Re: Understanding bit-depth conversion and dithering

["Lou Judson" inaudio]

I have a 744T. It has 24 bit convertors. It has 16 bit recording with
or without dither. Without dither it is truncated 24 bit. Not a fair
comparison. I have hundreds of old DAT recording from my 16 bit era.
History.

I feel like a race care driver discussing pickup trucks. I'd like to
bow out of a discussion I never should have joined in the first
place. I see no reason to continue trying to convince people of what
I know is obvious - 16 bit to me is a delivery medium, akin to MP3,
and I will originate 24 bit if there is any processing after the
recording...

Y'all can do as you like.
