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.

That's interesting!

Yeah, 24-bit word-length (bit depth) can be used with any sampling rate, that's just an uncommon/interesting choice. Those 8 bits mean a much higher dynamic range capability and a much lower noise floor.

Even their manual says "for CD quality recording." If it really is 24 bit, it's even better than CD quality. Puzzling indeed.
