Re: 16 bit vs 24 bit Information Theory Hypothesis

Hate to break it to you, but recording a quiet -40 dB level signal in
nature is no different than recording a -40 dB in a music studio. The
program material itself has no relevance to the discussion at hand.
We're talking level of sound and bit-depth and resulting noise and
imaging and they're completely independent of program material.
