And all conersion chain is 16-32-16. Can I be sure such > conversion keeps a stream with bit-to-bit accuracy? Dunno. Also depends on the hardware and driver. As I udnerstand it, data arrives at the card via TOSlink or coax in 16-bit samples. The card accepts the data and offers a 32-bit value to the driver. The driver can, at will, drop teh lowest 16 or 8 bits by specifying the wanted bitdepth.

Then I'd just play a CD and record at 32-bit, 24-bit and 16-bit. The lower remaining bits (if present) should be all 0. Compare the recordings in a sound editor, do a hexdump, etc. Short recordings will suffice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
