Right. Nyquist works just fine even with finite resolution, but the finite resolution produces a quantification error in the form of noise. If we disregard dithering for the sake of this discussion, the SNR of a 16 bit signal would be 96 dB - definitely more than what you find in any recording (or listening room, for that matter). Compare that to the SNR of FM radio or vinyl... :) "To try to judge the real from the false will always be hard.
