Actually I pointed this out a page or two ago, that some people find coloration in noise shaped dithers as opposed to flat TPDF. Near-Nyquist ones like Apogee's UV22 and one of the POW-r types in particular are sometimes reported as having a brightening effect.
Bob's point is a good one though; is that it can't be heard, or that it's can be heard too much and you don't like it? Those are two very different positions. Truncation sounds worst to me, when it sounds like anything at all. My opinion is to use flat dither in many cases, and noise shapers on a case by case basis dependent on program material when you have a reason to object to the flat.
