If you look at an analogue signal (music, film whatever) as the sounds or forms being represented get smaller they will degrade in relative quality - assuming you amplify the sound or magnify the image enough to be able to observe this. Again, the same is the case with digital. Regardless of which definition of dynamic range is used, logic says to me this is just part and parcel of any format...?
