Popular Post erin Posted February 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2021 The objective reply is that 16 bit recordings have 96dB dynamic range. With dithering, they can achieve 100dB dynamic range. Subjective comment: surely this is enough dynamic range to capture 99% of music recordings and definitely enough dynamic range to capture recordings from vinyl records. Subjective comment: In my experience, there is nothing wrong with 16 bit recordings. I have never heard any dynamic compression due to 16 bits being used. Any differences in sound between 16 bit and 24 bit recordings are due to the way the DAC chip manages the audio conversion from D to A. Any sonic difference is caused by the hardware, not the actual 16 bit data. Rexp and fas42 1 1 Link to comment
