Ok, I recently picked up a Gina, the 20 bit version. I must admit I am a little confused. From what I gather 16 bit=65,535 analog voltages and 20 bit=1,048,576 and then 24=16,777,216 right? So the jump from 16 to 20 is rather significant.
1. Is 24 bit much better than 20?
2. The manual says that the internal bit depth is 24, why then is it a 20 bit card? I assume it's because the ins and outs are 20 bit. What's the difference?
And finally... The software that I'm using (N-Track) gives the option to record at 16 or 24. No 20 bit choice. So do I then just record at 24? Does it matter? I'm so confused.
If anyone can enlighten this poor soul I'd be extremely grateful.
