Actually, an RTL-SDR can because there is direct access to the ADC
available by soldering to internal pads:
www.rtl-sdr.com/rtl-sdr-direct-sampling-mode/ That will give you 8-bit,
14.4Msps.
I'm not sure a 8bit ADC gives enough dynamic range, even after
downconversion.
The RTL-SDR is a pretty noisy receiver, too.
But as has also been said, a good sound card sampling 24 bits at 192kHz
can be used.

I don't know about the RTL-SDR, but 8 bits will get you quite far with
slow moving time signals like WWVB because you can average for minutes
if you want - provided you feed the ADC a good stable clock.
