Not quite. With a 16 bit card you wouldn't be able to pick up anything at all @ -96 dB ... zilch! Assuming this card otherwise works as promised (?), you will still be able to pick up a conversation drenched in 24 dB of noise @ -120 dB. So 20 "useful" bits - approx. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
