Fred, pay attention.
"32 bit fixed point does sound different and better in my experience."
He's using Audacity which works in 32-bit floating point...... not fixed point.
"Why? I don't know, but play around with dither added to bit 24 and you'll hear differences."
No kidding. Adding dither to anything will produce differences. Dither is just intentional noise added to randomize rounding errors when downsampling.
But again Fred, he's working in 32-bit floating point (not fixed point) and he is not downsampling. Dithering will never be applied within a 32-bit float project in Audacity because no downsampling occurs.
