"Dither is one of the least understood topics when it comes to mixing and mastering, but it can actually come in handy. We've compiled a one-stop shop for understanding when, why and how to use dither""So, what is dither? It's a form of low-level noise that is intentionally added to a digital audio file as it's rendered to a lower bit depth. The concept of dithering might seem counterintuitive, but it's an effective process. Dither noise actually masks what's called "quantization distortion," which causes noise and artifacts in digital audio. Before we go into the specifics, it's useful to quickly review some basic concepts about digital audio "
I have a CD player that has adjustable increments in 7 levels of Dither. IT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE, PERIOD.
"With streaming and Hi-Res content replacing the trusty CD, even less attention is paid to this once cornerstone of audio quality"... "In a nutshell, dither is a randomized coding sequence applied to 16-bit audio masters in order to reduce quantization noise"
Here's a link to some explanations because IT IS NOT AUDIBLE NOISE like others may think.
