Adding to this, even 16 bit has a dynamic range of over 90dB. There is a quite dramatice demo at that depth of a garage door being slammed after the demonstrater talks rather quietly - sorry, I can't find it now. By the time you reach 24bit, you're well below any reasonable accoustic noise level, and are getting into the region of thermal noise in analogue equipment. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
