Lots of stuff under £150 is 24bit. Its actually quite common in mid
range kit nowadays.
Was wondering about jack, I have heard of it but not used it. Dont know
much about it. Can I get it to drop the bitrate to 16? Be great if you
could point me in the correct direction for this.

I never heard of 24bit AD converter, this must be some really high end equipment/low noise amplifiers.
I wonder how many bits are needed to captuere both gravitational waves and exploding bombs without the need to adjust gain?
Maybe you can switch the device to output in 16bit? Or maybe you can let jack-audio do the dither?
