"The overkill in digital audio is from the bit word length. 16 bits is 96 dB dynamic range, 18 bits is 108 dB, 20 bits is 120 dB. And 24 bits, the "standard" for high-resolution playback, is 144 dB. The problem is for music performance, the noise floor is *rarely* over 100 dB. So in my opinion, 18 bits would be ideal for digital audio. Anything over that, the least significant bits will be acting on noise, not the signal. And again, those extra bits also means extra RFI emissions. This is why high-resolution digital audio has so underachieved, for both mainstream consumers and audiophiles."
If this were true wouldn't it then become a training issue for people making 24 bit recordings - ie. back off the gain?
