Every bit of resolution gives you 6db more of dynamic range, so when the peaks hit -6db you're already using all available bits. 24bit= 144db 16bit= 96db Keep in mind that there are no converters that will give you 144db of dynamic range - best ones top near 120db. All the above is true with PPM metering clipping at 0db (which is what every daw has).
