"Is this false or ignorant ?"
I don't know, but it could be true..........
This is the first article I've seen that expressly questions the benefits of dither for CD recordings..... The only way to find out its benefit is to compare two tracks from the same analog signal, one with dither, the other without. (Even dither apps sound different..... See link.)
I agree with Dave K on one point- The ambient noise is likely high enough to provide sufficient dither on its own. There are not many acoustic environments whose quietest levels relative to the peak levels of the music performed are lower than -90 dB. (The only environment that is void of ambient noise is where the music is 100 percent digitally synthesized. The next best thing is an anechoic chamber.)![]()
