Tango24 always provides 24-bit data from its A/D converters, and uses 24 bits of output data for D/A conversion. This means that an audio program running on the PC which only handles 16-bit data will work, and an audio editing program that supports I/O at higher resolutions can use full Tango24 precision. Since there are 8 bits to a byte, the next logical sound file resolution is 24 bits. SAWPro, Cakewalk Pro Audio, Samplitude Studio, Cool Edit Pro, and Steinberg's Cubase VST and WaveLab support 24 bit audio storage today, and more manufacturers will be adding support for it over the coming months.
