Hi everyone. I need to know what happens if I send a digital signal
(adat) at 24bit to a 16 bit machine. I just bought a behringer
ada8000 preamp/converter which works at 24bit and I want to use it
with a fostex d160 HD recorder which only works at 16bit.
thanks

Hopefully, the 24 bit signal is converted to 16 bits with proper dithering.
In specific cases, this can be determined experimentally. Or, if you are
willing to take a risk - you can ask the vendor.
