The Band in a Box program is locked at 16/44.1 -- however, as you've noted, if you attempt to import an audio file of another bit rate/bit depth, BB will convert that file to its native 16.44.1 -- BB is not a DAW program, per se, it is an Autoaccompaniment program. The included RealBand software is a full functioning DAW software, capable of using higher bitrates/bitdepths.
