Sigh, I need to remember to never read the YouTube comments on @Techmoan videos. There is *always* a huge misguided discussion about analog vs. digital that raises my blood pressure. Your argument is invalid unless you have ABX tests to back it. Hint: digital does.
That is only half of it. The first demo shows that a tone at < 96dB is still above the noise floor even with flat quantization noise. Shaped dither just improves things further. SNR is already > 96 on a band basis, which the article I linked later goes further into.

I haven't read it yet, but you have to integrate the floor noise throughout the entire band. Calculating SNR against the noise floor is wrong. Will read and come back

Ah, but we aren't talking about SNR, we're talking about dynamic range. Not quite the same thing ;). Music isn't a broadband noise source, so you get some extra perceptual headroom for free.
