Where did you get this number from? A 16-bit source signal has, on a 0.3V analog output, a resolution finer than 0.000005 volts per step, which is a voltage so tiny that it gets lost several times over in the SNR already at the DAC stage of a fine "HiFi soundcard" - before the signal has even had a chance to disappear in the natural noise of audio cabling and the amplifier stage.
