The only way I know to be sure would be to look at the samples with an
editor that allows you to zoom in vertically enough to see the actual
quantization levels.  I have done this with Goldwave.   I think Adobe
Audition can also do this, but Audacity can't (at least the version I
tried, which was about a year ago).

I doubt that any software could accurately report the number.  It
wouldn't be able to tell if it was actually 24 bits, or 16 bits padded
to 24 bits like Audacity does when it records on WIN machines.
