3dB corresponds to roughly 1 bit of amplitude, so

means you are giving up about 6-7 bits of resolution to headroom,
leaving something like 17 bits in your "working" range, plus whatever
headroom you use for transients.
Oops, that was stupid. 6 dB corresponds to 1 bit, so you lose about 3
bits.
Thanks,
