My understanding in conversation with Sonic Sense is that these were aimed at the movie/ video market for audion where the fine tuning isn't quite as critical.
Or where capturing dynamic range is important. If the specs show that the unit can't fully handle 16bit data, why should we use it to record at 24bit? And why was the old one pitched as a 20 bit unit.
A sony m10 has better AD converter specs. And it has a volume knob so you can set levels without a screwdriver.
