minimum audio bit-depth needed...
#11
Another thing to take in account:
ALL ADC and DAC "lose" some bits, hence their ENOB (effective number of bits) is ALWAYS lower;

- better DAC I was aware of is inside my old CD player - 30 years old! - one channel with 15.6 ENOB and the other 15.9
- usually good 24bit ADCs found on sound card provide only around 17/18 ENOB, while the best should be around 20/21 ENOB
- AFAIK DAC have higher ENOB in comparison to ADC of comparable price

IMHO, source must be a capture made at 24bit/48kHz or any 24bit/xxkHz, while final release could be made at 16bit/48kHz (even at 16bit/44kHz, but unless one must use it for CD, better to stay at 48kHz for wider compatibility and to avoid small errors given by 48kHz->44.1kHz
