Converter Test Shows WAV Export Lost 24-bit Depth, Producing 16-bit PCM

A developer tested whether a public audio converter preserves 24-bit PCM when exporting to WAV. They created a one-second mono 48 kHz 24-bit fixture and converted it through the tool, selecting WAV output. Inspecting the downloaded file showed 16-bit sample width, a 44.1 kHz rate, and two channels, none of which matched the source. The author notes the converter's visible controls only select the output format and offer no bit-depth option. They advise checking the file's sample width directly against any 24-bit delivery requirement.
