You might record at 13 bits if you were recording exactly the recording that you were providing for your listeners. In the real world any kind of serious recording is processed by means of adding gain, mixing channels, dynamic range expansion or compression and equalization, before it is provided to the listener. It is good to record with a higher resolution such as 16 bits so that when you do that kind of processing, which are inherently lossy, your final distributed product has 13 or 14 bits that are still good. |

As always Arny has the right answer. I'll just add that no sound card or DAW software I know of has a 13-bit option.  Seriously, computer memory and files are stored in groups of 8 bits, so everything is kept in "digital containers" of that size. |
