OP AMP Capabilities in Supporting 24 bit bandwidth


Hello Everybody

Iam in the market in search of a Minimalist Preamp and got pulled towards Morrison ELAD, I saw this piece of message in Don Morrison Website:
(The most important thing about it is that its circuitry is designed around the Analog Devices AD797, a highly advanced op-amp made with a fully complementary IC process. This complex device, consisting of 60 transistors, settles to a full 16-bit resolution in under a microsecond, has a noise spec equivalent to a 50-ohm resistor from 10 Hz to 1MHz, and achieves lower THD + N levels than any discrete audio circuit that has come our way. The preamp consists of two AD797's with associated circuitry - including separate volume controls for each channel)

Looks like it can handle 16 bit resolution at ease, but, how about handling higher bandwidth signals at 24 bit resolution?

Any advice is highly appreciated.

Thank you

If you are not happy with AD797 opamps, try LME49990.
