Here is a discussion of distortion vs number of bits: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal-to-noise_ratio
and here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantization_error The key equation you will find over and over is: Signal to noise Quanitzation Noise Ratio(SQNR)is: SQNR = 1.761 _ 6.02 * (Q) (in dB), where Q is the number of bits that are used to digitize the signal.
