It reports some 24 bit AudioBasicStreamDescriptions so that at least is encouraging.  I have pinged their technical support department.  If anyone else knows anything about this I'd appreciate hearing from them.  Thanks.

It does not limit it to 16b
24b works great on OS X...assuming the device is properly USB Audio class compliant and it's descriptors/streaming properly stream 24b

I do not know if the iMic does/doesn't work properly 24b, but many USB audio devices out there do.

Specifically, is the claim that OS X limits the resolution of USB audio devices to 16 bits correct?  I need to be able to answer a question from a customer about this.
 
Many thanks - Paul Sanders.
