..."many vendors say their DACs accept 24-bit audio data, but what they don't often say is that their DACs may actually convert only 16 of those bits."
I remember being furious as Stello Audio for this very thing. I had the Stello DAC 100 Signature that their website went out of its way to highlight that fact that its USB input accepted up to 24/96. They made it a selling feature. What they didn't tell you is that the signal was then downgraded to 16/48. Deceptive dogs! I will never buy any product from them again.

...have changed things they are correct only in that it'll "accept" 24/96 but then downgrades it. I first found out about it on a forum somewhere I then had them admit to it in an email where he then tried to sell me their USB convertor thingy.
Some, like the MHDT Stockholm do say that they accept the high res. signals, but use a 16 bit DAC chip.
