Right. That's what I'm saying. All this does not apply to a dithered system; which is what Bob K's quote actually refers to.
I am interested though how even in an undithered system, correlated distortion could possibly be perceived to be lower by being "spread out". How would that happen? Wouldn't the added frequency extension just allow for additional harmonics to be recorded? How would that decrease the perceived level of the lower harmonics? Am I missing something here?
