RE: 20-bit processing

No-one is saying that RBCD contains more than 16 bits. If dither/noise-shaping is applied - then beyond the 16-bit spec can be heard - subjectively. Many people (apparently) have a problem understanding this.

There is *no such thing* as 24-bit ADCs. You should know this. The last four bits on a (24-bit) ladder are not functional.

Finally, with intermediate calculations being done on a 20-bit - not 16 bit - capture, we shouldn't have to dither/noise-shape.
