I don't think it's entirely realistic to expect a 24 bit output on a 16 
bit instrument. As for sound quality, that's probably more down to the 
quality of the analogue electronics. After all, the xx200 series are 
relatively inexpensive, and superior sound quality was probably not a 
design requirement.

Having said that, both my AN1x and EX5S sound extremely clean, whereas 
the latter should have better components. But if you want professional 
results (as in regards to sound quality), you should buy a professional 
unit with the professional price tag that goes hand in hand with it.
