The final step of converting from 24/XXXXX to 16/44100
should also
include dithering which libsndfile does not do (yet, plans on the
board).
From what I've read (in TapeOp) it seems like dithering is really the
key to the 24 -> 16 conversion. People pay good money for proper
dithering noise I guess.
I have just been toying around with recording from my Stanton str8-80
(not really audiophile) which has a 44100 digital out to a hoontech xg
(ymfpci). It seemed to work rather well, but I'm all about streamlining
the process as far as track chopping, etc. I was just using snd, but I
may look into gnome wave cleaner (especially for dirtier/older records).
