Thanks Steve. I also asked a friend who's in the digital audio field and he said the same:
Nope. The smallest possible signal is a single quantum (eg,
0 to 1) and the largest 2^16, regardless of whether the
encoding is signed or not, hence a 96 dB dynamic range.The signal +/- 1 is twice as big as the smallest possible
signal.It doesn't match my intuitive thinking about how the signal is represented (ie +/- 1), but I guess my intuition is wrong :-)
