Hey DJ in search for a digital patcjhbay I found that your midiman digital
bays are only 16 bit adat compliant.
Just to let you know.

Hi James,
Have you checked on that with some kind of bit viewer ?
I found a website that says that it uses the optical connections with the
16bit format.
I know all ebay sites don't tell the truth but this is a must forme before
buying one so would want tobe 100 % certain.

Dimitrios

Dear James and DJ,
Here is one thread :
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.audio.pro/browse_thread/t hread/9c3479188d31e8fc/93356fe3a8335016?lnk=st&q=midiman +digipatch+24+bit&rnum=3#93356fe3a8335016

I had a digipatch for a week before I sent it back. Beware of 24 bit audio

transmission. It didn't work with my 02R or my Apogees. Call their tech

support. Keep looking for the physical type, and let me know if you find

it. I saw one before from Full Comapss. I called them and they did not

have access to it.

Another thread about being 16 bit only !!
It truncates !!
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.audio.pro/browse_thread/t hread/7099581c8a6a02e6/61b0facf99e54eca?lnk=st&q=midiman +digipatch+16bit&rnum=3#61b0facf99e54eca

Note that this unit only handles TYPE I ADAT (16-bit)... If you run
TYPE-II (20-bit) I/O, it WILL truncate.

Thats what the thread says.
You said that it passes 24 bit audio, well what if it passes but truncates
to 16 bit ?
Regards,
Dimitrios

Hmmmm..........I've been around the block with this before. It is also said
that these don't allow 96K.......... MAudio tech support says these pass 24
bit/96k bit for bit-sample for sample.

DJ,
I suspect that they truncate according to the date of their release.
One way to to see inside is to detect if the adat connectors on pcb have
6 legs and not 3 or 4.

Also to be sure please make the following.
Try to record an adat signal from digipatch adat out to Paris adat in and
then use the free vst plugin bitviewer to see it it is 20 bits.
At least we will know if it passes 20 bits.
It is important to all of us !
Do you know what it means if you all this time were recrording and patching
all the way truncating the bits ??
Maybe thats a cause of what you were hearing when you were sending over to
cuabse and then back and you wanted to use dither etc...
Regards,
Dimitrios

DJ,
Here is another proof of digipatch beeing 16bit...

Note: The Litepipe protocol used by the Digipatch, known as DT-16, is a format
intended to support 16-bit Type I ADAT devices. Other Litepipe formats are
not guaranteed to work reliably. All coaxial S/PDIF and Optical S/PDIF (TosLink)
are fully supported.

Hi Dj,
Try running the Digipatch thru you RME card and use RME Digicheck
software bit meter or wavelab they will both confirm 16 bit only.
The bastards...
