In Reply to: You don't need more than 24 bits. posted by Ted Smith on March 1, 2007 at 09:59:28:
16-bit data has a theoretical dynamic range of 96 dB. 20-bit data has a theoretical dynamic range of 120 dB. 24-bit data has a theoretical dynamic range of 144 dB. Most electronics produce too much noise to even realize the full dynamic potential of 20-bit playback, let alone 24. The LSBs in both cases are likely to contain mostly ambient noise.This is also why applying dither noise isn't necessary when truncating data of 24 bits or more down to 20 bits or more. The ambient noise alone would be adequate for such application.
