Hi,

These claims seems to be theoretically correct. Practical results will depend on the type of signal and nature of the present noise.

A good explanation is to be found in the Analog Devices application note AD9042.

How is it possible to achieve a dynamic range of 112dB with a
resolution of just 14 bits?

It is correct that a 14-bit AD-Converter exhibits an effective signal
to noise ratio of only 75dB. However, this value comprises for the
whole bandwidth of 32MHz. By filtering appropriately and therefore
reducing the bandwidth B, a process gain of P = 10*Log10(32MHz/B) can
be achieved. With B=2400Hz, the process gain results in ca. 41dB,
therefore the dynamic range is increased to 75 + 41 = 116dB.
