So for me the million $ question is whether the better colour in the 24/96 recording compared to the 16/44.1 recording is worth the extra cost of a soundcard and the significant increase in storage space required.

The most expensive part was probably the box. Or the four Saturdays it took you to build it. Not that it would take you four days for the actual construction, it would take that long to shop for and buy all the extra tools. Nobody ever has too many tools. My last mini-circuit board construction pro...

Which Windows? Which version of Audacity exactly? I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program That's harder than you think. Audacity leaves files around so updates to the program do not make you change all your preferences every time. http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Audacity_Preferences Does Au...
