Yeah, number of bits is still expressed in base ten (lol, I just realized that all bases are base 10 in their own base).
I don’t know about this divide by three business. it’s not exactly 3. You should use the correct value.
EDIT: log(10)/log(2) = 3.3219
It seems like divide by 3 should be about right. 2**10 is roughly 10**3, so 30 decibels is about 10 bits. (1024 versus 1000).
log10(1024) = 3.010 10/3.010 = 3.32
You are right, the conversion factor is 3.01.
