And i mean after you have set up a proper gain structure where -136dBfs is not perceivable by the human ear...
If I can hear the difference with my ears--it's significant.

If it is important enough for Bob Olhsson to notice it and put in a 3rd party plug to compensate, it's significant.

He's the professional--you're the amateur. His ears are golden, yours are obvious lacking. Perhaps you should consider getting into a different line of work, like computer salesman?

By your logic, why dither at all?

I think I figured out why the crap I'm hearing on the radio doesn't measure up to those done 20, 30, 40 years ago.
