If you want to cover all variables, 20 bits would do it for a delivery channel. That covers threshold of hearing to threshold of pain. You need a hell of a system to reproduce it, of course, but that way nobody can say you don't have your bases covered!
By the way, this has become a different subject if I'm not mistaken.
