RE: Test with 24/96 vs. 16/44 LITTLE TO NO DIFFERENCE.

The poor sonics of the 0404 card are not helping you.

If you can swing the $$$ go for the Lynxstudio card, if not, the audiophile 192 from M-Audio is a better sounding card for a little more $$. I have three DAWs set up, one with the 192 and two with the Lynxstudio TWO card.

If you have the original high rez tracks, why not downconvert to 16/44.1, save as second track and then you can switch back and forth between tracks, very quickly with editing software.

I have many recording session masters at all 4 common digital word depths/sampling rates (16/44.1, 24/96, 24/176.4, 24/192). Its interesting to note, that an original raw 16/44.1 session master does not sound as good as the exact same track recorded on a different recorder at 24/176.4 that has been down converted to 16/44.1.

24/96 does edge out 16/44.1, but it still sounds like digital audio. The higher res formats begin to sound more ligh high speed analog tape session masters.

best.
