Alesis Xt Or Xt20?

the converters are as you say, but it only records 16bit to tape.

What you are saying is that Alesis is wrong about their own converters they developed. Could you please explain this a bit further ?

I'm saying that while the A/D chips are spec'd higher, the XT unit is designed and records at 16-bit with either a 44.1kHz or 48Khz sampling rate.

They did not implement a design to match the maximum spec on the chips they used........

Ged'dit???

PS - if you don't believe me, then run a digital signal from tape into a bit-check tool - you will see it is a 16-bit digital signal.........
 
Is this a effect that happens when it goes to tape or in the converter itself? In other words, if I record I get 16, but what do I get if I only use the A/D's and route a signal from line in to optical out ?
 
I know that when I routed a 24-bit signal thru the the XT20s, it was truncated to 20-bit (even though the signal didn't pass thru the A/D converters), so I suspect it would be the same for the older XTs............
