Len, back in the early 80s I tested my Sony PCM-F1 in just this same
way. I could hear signals 19 bits below 0 dBFS, and that was only a
16-bit device. That's what dither's all about--it lets you hear signals
that are well below the noise floor.

So it's all very well that your device passes that test, since in a
general way it verifies your use of dither. But you certainly can't use
that kind of test to estimate the bit depth of a recording device.
