You've got to be in the middle of NOWHERE with a 50dB over S9 neighbor to need more than a 16-bit sound card.

And that assumes the 50 dB over S9 signal is within the receiver passband.  Otherwise the receiver AGC will increase the volume of the weak signal to the point where sound card dynamic range is totally not an issue.

However, as Jim mentions on his web site, it is important to set audio levels so as not to over-drive the sound card input.  And apparently with some software it is important to set the sound card to the correct sample rate.
