I personally prefer upto 20 bits maximum, 24 bits is not as musical as 20 bits. 24 bits are more detailed and slightly bassy but lacks mid range. My 20 Bits Monarchy Dac out performed many 24/192 DACs musically, 20 bit is very musical.
24 bit/44.1?
The digi out on my B&K phono 10 is supposedly ( according to the manual) a 24bit/44.1 signal? Does this make sense ? BTW - whatever it is -sounds great thru my Becnchmark DAC-1.
