In Reply to: You are right Christine, I meant a 24 bit mantissa... posted by Jim Pearce on August 15, 2005 at 08:13:31:
it took a lot of effort for Meridian to program them in 48-bits, since it involves maintaining intermediate results in two parallel sets of registers.I doubt that any other manufacturer have done similar - maybe in pockets of the code, but not all the way through.
Which really means it's highly unlikely you are hearing anywhere close to 24-bit resolution on these devices. Those are "marketing" bits, but processing quantization errors reduce the accuracy to not much more than 16 bits at best.

- No. they are 24-bit fixed point, but have a 48-bit accumulator - Christine Tham 14:32:55 08/15/05 (0)
