HowdyYou said "The idea that 20 bits would be more than adequate because of the noise of the electronics does not hold water." Well, 20 bits is just about as good as can be done right now in hardware. That's a fact. Over time we'll slowly be adding bits but we'll never need more than 24 bits for a ADC or DAC (tho more for processing is a necessity.)
(Ignoring dithered signals) the maximum dynamic range of PCM is the ratio of the loudest representable signal to the smallest, roughly 6dB per bit. I don't know what you mean when you say you were dividing that by bits :)
I'm sorry that I'm not understanding your point.
