Here's a double-blind A/B/X test that indicated no one could hear the
difference between 16 and 24 bit. 24-bit is better than 16-bit with
dithering so maybe you can extrapolate.
AES Journal 2007 September, Volume 55 Number 9: "Audibility of a
CD-Standard A/D/A Loop Inserted into High-Resolution Audio Playback"
E. Brad Meyer and David R. Moran
I found this link with google:
http://drewdaniels.com/audible.pdf
"The test results show that the CD-quality A/D/A loop was undetectable
at normal-to-loud listening levels, by any of the subjects, on any of
the playback systems. The noise of the CD-quality loop was audible only
at very elevated levels."
Cheers,
Ross.
