We spared no details to ensure that the sound of the 882|20 would please even the most discriminating listeners. For starters, it features 20-bit D/A and A/D converters, 24-bit digital performance, and an extremely low noise floor (+100 dB range). Designed to be a flexible, high quality interface for project- based studios, the 882|20 is a perfect I/O solution for most music and multimedia productions.
The 882|20 makes an excellent primary or auxiliary audio interface for Pro Tools|24 or Pro Tools|24 MIX systems — ideal for connecting out-board signal processing gear, keyboards, or other external devices. It even operates standalone as a 2-channel, 20-bit A/D converter or D/A converter without Pro Tools (or any other) software.
ANALOG AND DIGITAL CONNECTIONS
The eight analog I/O connections are balanced tip-ring-sleeve (TRS) 1/4” connectors and can be switched globally via software for +4 dBu or -10 dBV operation. Two channels of S/PDIF digital I/O provide the link to many consumer and professional
DAT recorders, CD players, and other devices. With a 24-bit capable system, such as Pro Tools|24, the S/PDIF ports can be used to record, write, and play 24-bit files.
BIG PERFORMANCE AT A SMALL PRICE
Whether you’re just entering into the exciting world of Pro Tools and need a high quality primary audio interface or an experienced pro seeking to expand or upgrade your I/O capabilities, the 882|20 I/O offers world-class performance at an affordable price. Add your choice of digital audio workstation from Digidesign, and this great-sounding interface will help take you where you want to go.

and early 1998 = 24 bit 882/888
u can see if its the 20 bit or 24 bit by viewing the red triangle on the logo of the unit
