>From G3PLX:

I am just starting to do some serious tests with my new 24-bit Firebox. With 
the audio input of a channel short-circuit, if I analyse the statistics of 
the 24-bit data, I find the bottom 8 bits are ALWAYS random. In fact the 
bottom 9-10 bits are random.

This tells me there is no point at all in having 24-bit audio. I might just 
as well stay with 16-bits.

Has anyone here done any rigorous tests comparing 16 and 24-bit audio and 
found any difference?  Like patching the code to mask off the bottom 8 bits 
completely, or replacing the bottom 8 bits with random data. Maybe someone 
has added a checkbox to turn this sort of test feature on and off and see 
what, if any, is the difference in the speaker.
