"So lets say
with 1 bit we would resolve 6 dB into 2 values (e.g. 0 dB and 6 dB, nothing in between)
with 2 bit we would resolve 12 dB into 4 values (e.g. 0,4,8,12 dB, nothing in between)"
But that's strange, because people usually say to use 24-bits playback even if your source is 16-bits, because the source will be padded to 24-bits, and you get more range to waste with the digital volume control. But in this example, you just can't pad the 1-bit source to 2-bit at all (not without rounding 6 to 4 or to 8). So is everyone wrong in using 24-bit playback then (for 16-bit sources)?
