I have a Fostex VF160 16 track recorder that I've had for years and I mix down my recordings on a Sony mini disc recorder. The VF160 has a ADAT input/output and my Sony mini disc has an optical input. Before I started to use those inputs/outputs I was just mixing my songs from the VF160 to mini disc by way of the analog outputs from the 160 to mini disc. If I start only using the ADAT output from the 160 to mini disc, will the digital quality of my songs be upgraded to full 44.1 kh or full digital quality as opposed to using the analog outputs? The quality of my songs sound the same either way so I'm wondering if there's really any difference. Thanks.
