Here is what you said,
"Within 24 bits truncation is no problem since no DAC is capable of the last few bits."
This is about what the DAC does, not what you or someone else might or might not be able to hear.
I pointed out that this is likely to be false. Most sigma-delta DACs will respond to signal at the lower bits. The SABRE chips will respond down to at least 32 bits. If they did not respond then it would not be possible to measure differences at the 24 bit LSB, such as those provided by dither.
