have for input two stereo A/D converters, which can do <br>
16/20/24-bit, and 44.1k/48k/96k/192kHz sample rates.<br>
Because the analog front end is specified as 90 dB(A), and 16 bits<br>
in itself is 96 dB, there is little point in using more than 16 bits, unless it needs to be mixed with 20 or 24 bit signals.<br>
The highest sample rates usually cause a loss in precision, and<br>
bandtwith is limited to 22 kHz mostly (I think motherboard determines<br>
that).<br>
<br>
How this compares to external USB sound cards I don't know, have not<br>
looked at measurements. The Behringer UCA202 I once measured, and S/N<br>
was 70 dB. Which was way below the noise from the cassettes I<br>
digitized, so prefect for this.<br>
