[QUOTE="samuelg, post: 1166069, member: 28179"] You won't see the sample resolution from a spectrum analyzer. Even on an oscilloscope you'd have a *very* hard time spotting it. That said, moving from 16 bit to 24 bit (provided the rest of the system is decent) does give an audible difference IMHO. As mentioned above the best place to check is in the digitized data. Mathematically, if you take the quantized (sampled) version of the audio and subtract the true analog value you get a noise signal, created by the "quantization error", the difference between the digital version and the analog version. The higher the sampling resolution the smaller the quantization noise signal. [/QUOTE]
