From what I've read (in TapeOp) it seems like dithering is really the key to the 24 -> 16 conversion. People pay good money for proper dithering noise I guess. I have just been toying around with recording from my Stanton str8-80 (not really audiophile) which has a 44100 digital out to a hoontech xg (ymfpci). It seemed to work rather well, but I'm all about streamlining the process as far as track chopping, etc. I was just using snd, but I may look into gnome wave cleaner (especially for dirtier/older records). -Rich
