"There have been complaints about low level resolution since the arrival of CD."I've been one of those stating such complaints....
"By your reasoning, one might think that electronics (and speakers) would produce too much noise and distortion to be able to hear the relative noise and distortion of cables."
I'm not sure what you mean by "cables"..... I do think with digital amplifiers, the loss of low-level resolution makes differences in interconnect cables less-noticeable. And in some cases unnoticeable.
The point I was trying to make was the obsession with wordlength being rendered baseless by the mere fact that once the audio data exceeds 20 bits, the need to apply noise for dithering goes away because the residual noise of the electronics would doing so anyway. Unless the S/N ratio of the electronics upstream to the A/D conversion was better than -110 dB.
