As MNYB said. I think you are confusing a few things. Any SB device uses a 24-bit path internally, so if it gets 24 bits in it puts exactly the same 24-bits out - if volume is on MAX and Replaygain is disabled. If it gets a 16-bit input, it adds zeroes to the end first, then behaves as it would with a 24-bit input. The fact that your DAC (any DAC) can't resolve the lowest bits in the analogue domain because they are below the noise floor is irrelevant to the SB device and its digital output. There is NO shifting of bits or loss of anything (until one is INSIDE the DAC itself).
