January 17, 2023 - What is the "ear-perceived" dynamic range of 16bit/44.1kHz and some older formats? Why is the typical answer ("dynamic range of 16 bits = 96 decibels") wrong? Why doesn't Signal-to-Noise Ratio and "dBA" tell the whole story? What is the dynamic range of an audio system in which low-level signal transmission is affected by noise? - Dispelling the misconceptions about SNR, dynamic range and noise perception... The article also contains a comparison of noise audibility threshold of popular audio formats (16/44k, vinyl, reel-to-reel tape).
