I'm about to start digitizing a pile of ancient cassette masters. I'm using a Mac laptop, which has it's own converter, but I've got an old MOTU 828 I could also use. Is the MOTU's converter any better than the Apple's?
Also (I've read the epic saga of 48 vs. 96): at 48 KHz, if my primary aim is torrenting these recordings, is 24 bit PCM the way to go? I've got 32 bit float available (in Audacity), but I don't think I've seen it used much in the wild.
Thanks for any advice, I'd like to get this as right as I can the first time around.
