I should have been more specific.

Recording from the DA-88 source(48Khz/16bit), through TDIF on the
MOTU 2408 (24 bit internal processing?) to the hard drive with Vegas
("24bit" enabled), results in a file with "32bit/48Khz" properties
according to the properties dialog box.

The resultant files can not be opened by any wave editor I own,
including SF.

Either I have something configured wrong (again), or am missing
something in the understanding department(highly likely).

Thanks in advance for any enlightenment.
