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).
