Jay, I know that what dither does is real and can be verified by measuring distortion. I just think it's importance is blown way out of proportion because what it does is typically 90 dB below the music. In some types of very soft music it might be just barely audible. On typical pop music it is not. At least I can't hear it. In the half-year or so my Dither Test linked above has been online, with more than 2,200 reads, not one person has ever sent me the correct answer.
