I made two separate posts in this thread. One post (not in this thread) confirmed that there were some people who reported hearing differences at 24 bit dither. This was about audibility. I was passing on what these people reported. I don't claim to hear these differences at 24 bit, by the way, but I have heard them at the sixteen bit level and decided that the safest approach was to always use TPDF dither. Using no dither or alternative dithers may be sometimes better, sometimes noticiably worse.
The other post was purely technical, and that's in this particular sub thread. I was rebutting Archimago's claim the DACs wouldn't resolve differences down to the lest significant bit in a way that can be measured. Since Archimago's supposedly a measurement guy, I threw this out as a challenge to him.
