it's about the 'distance' between the possible loudest and most silent musical moment, which is called the dynamic range.
It is dependant from the bit depth, 24 bit has a better range than 16 bit.
The relevance lays in the signal to noise ratio, -106 is better than -80.
-99 is not bad btw :smile:

Some folks here really do know what they are talking about, as opposed to me :smile:
They can tell you more specific stuff :smile:
