Comment Comment by eviks I'd rather trust solid hearing biology/physics plus all the other failed tests> the effective dynamic range of 16 bit audio reaches 120dB in practice [13], more than fifteen times deeper than the 96dB claim.> 120dB is greater than the difference between a deserted 'soundproof' room and a sound loud enough to cause hearing damage in seconds.> 16 bits is enough to store all we can hear, and will be enough forever.https://people.xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/neil-young.html#toc_1... parent eviks 3 years ago
