| I've wrestled with dither for years - most of the time, at normal volumes, I can't hear the difference. But, I accepted it as a practice. It's just one more thing that may make things sound better (or not worse) - maybe not on it's own, though. If you can do 10 or 100 things that improve or preserve audio quality, the cumulative effect could/can be dramatic. I liken it to using good cables. Also, subtle timbral differences (upper harmonics) of loud sources played at loud volumes may be very, very low and still matter (- 90 though? that may be a stretch!). OTOH, dither practice could just be superstition - if so, it's one that doesn't really hurt anything. |
