Vicky, 

Okay, this means that the inherent noise floor of the K6/ME67
(measured in dBu) is still high enough compared to the quantization
noise floor at 16 bit. Though, based on my measurements, I would think
that one could detect differences between 16 and 24 bit at the low
sense setting in conjunction with a less sensitive microphone.
