wikipedia - 31 Jul 2015The resolution of floating point samples is less straightforward than integer samples, but the benefit comes in the increased accuracy of low values. In floating point representation, the space between any two adjacent values is of the same proportion as the space between any other two adjacent values, whereas in an integer representation, the space between adjacent values gets larger in proportion to low-level signals. This greatly increases the SNR because the accuracy of a high-level signal will be the s
