i'm looking to get a lower end USB interface box. i've been looking at several, and the MAYA 44 USB caught my eye...but i can't find the bit rate anywhere! is it 16 or 24? (also, does anyone have any strong feelings about the unit?)
 
oops, i finally found it...it's 16. well, does anyone have a good suggestion for a 24 bit USB box in this price range?
 
usb 1 and multichannel 24 bit are almost mutually exclusive.

Have a look at Firewire interfaces if you want 24 bit.

usb1 is for kids with digital cameras
 
Just to jump in here, you are talking about word length when you discuss 16-bit vs. 24-bit. This refers to the size of each sample. Sample rate is how many samples are taken a second (44.1khz or 96khz) Bit Rate usually refers to compressed audio, and how much data is crammed into a second of audio.

The 8-channel Presonus Firepod might be a bit more than you need, but it's a good deal for $600.
There's a lot of other firewire stuff out there by M-Audio, Tascam etc. Go to musiciansfriend.com and check 'em out
