FWIW, I've always kind'a thought 32-bit *fixed point* summing is plenty

If you let 2^26 equal 1 volt ...

32-bits can represent (nearly) a +-32 volt peak signal
-- which is hotter than virtually any analog gear out there

and have s/n of better than 156 dB
-- which is better than *literally* any analog gear out there

peace y'all
