Most significant bits are the same for both, you just
have less on the least significant side between 16bit and 20/24bit.
Dynamic range does not equate to volume! Don't get confused just because both are
measured in dB.
Sorry, I don't understand your answer. Probably, you didn't read my question
carefully. Just compare two chains:
16bit - 24bit - (attenuate up to -24db) - (to 20 bit in DAC), and
16bit - (attenuate up to -24db) - 24bit - (to 20 bit in DAC)
I just want to know which chain is used in gst (and, of course, prefer first one), as far
as at first case we keep resolution 16bit, while at second case we get 12bit only. You
see?
