Isn't it more like 24-bit/192 KHz?

But well, with these Audio Codecs we might gain "better audio quality"
of course, but see the datasheets. Valuable engineering data is turned
to an audio jargon, because these ain't used for any "serious" uses
like instrumentation.

I'm stupid as all know and my math is even worse, but when "108dB
dynamic range" has been equal to 24bit Digital to Analog Conversion?

"No missing codes", eh? "INL"? Or where's the Bit Bucket where all
this 24bit/192KHz marketing hype should go?

SSsamppa, so Sorry.
