- You are right but:
- Eight times oversampling requires 2 bits dynamic range from sample to sample
- for the signal with 96dB abrupt change (16 bits). Since the voice and music
- don't have such changes, then, one bit range from sample to the next is
- suficient. The 8 bits and 4 times oversampling works if you don't saturate
- your DAC due to the fast rise/fall of the signal.
