Hi, Is there any point to running my M-Audio Audiophile Firewire at 24 bit 96khz when the files I'm using are 16 bit 44.1khz?


No. The best that you can expect from vinyl is more like what you can digitize with 30 KHz, 10 bit sampling, so 16/44 is overkill. And to head off a likely rejoinder, vinyl can reproduce signals up to 30-40 KHz, but not with low distortion. There may be signals in that range that appear during the process, but they were probably not a useful part of the recording used to make the original master disc.
