86dB signal-to-noise.

As noted in my third para :~)

Additionally from the product page:

"Unprecedented fidelity and detail, 130 dB dynamic range"

I've just realized that the product page I linked is extremely unusual for stating a dynamic range value.

However this makes sense if you read the papers covering Neumann's dual ADC and pre design of which they were justifiably proud. System D was a mid nineties introduction.

One would only have the SNR worth of content inside those 130db, was the point I think that person was trying to make. Real world physical transducers will have physical limitations of some kind, not all of which must be simultaneously surpassed to encounter said limitation.
