Dear friends,

I just bought an Eps 16+ rack from another Ensoniq lover, also lover of Emu
(he blames Creative
to have killed both!!!). Unfortunately the Flashbank card went "k.o." as
soon as mounted it on
this unit, i had three similar problems before: I must have a serious
problem of grounding
at home..

Anyway this seniors says he knows for certain that Paris is actually a 16
bit conversion hardware,
(though if good sounding)
only the internal routing can be 24 bit: is that true????

'bye all,
Andrea, Italy

No, paris can record and bounce 24 bit audio.

to record, or Bounce, 24 bit files, select 24 bit in the project window. (Paris
does actually sound really good at 16 bit though)

The MEC built in, IF-2 and 442 have 20 bit analog interfaces. The 8 in/ 8
out series are 24 bit. The MEC S/PDIF is 24 bit. The 442 S/PDIF is 20 bit.
The Adat cards are 20 bit. Had the AES xlr board seen production, it was
supposed to be 24 bit I believe. Note, not a single 16 bit interface in the
bunch. :)

Now, the interesting thing is that the IF-2 sends/recieves a full 24 bit
signal, it's the convertors that limit to 20 bit I have heard. That piece of
info came to light during the much talked about AES IF-2 modifications
someone in the group had been working on.
