Don't get confused just because both are measured in dB. Sorry, I don't understand your answer. Probably, you didn't read my question carefully. Just compare two chains: 16bit - 24bit - (attenuate up to -24db) - (to 20 bit in DAC), and 16bit - (attenuate up to -24db) - 24bit - (to 20 bit in DAC) I just want to know which chain is used in gst (and, of course, prefer first one), as far as at first case we keep resolution 16bit, while at second case we get 12bit only.
