Why Can't You Just Post a Brief Explanation, In Laymen's Terms???

It should be that difficult.....

Dither is a process that uses noise prior to quantization to trigger the storage media's least-significant bit, both randomly and as a function of signal levels/resolution below the media's LSB. This is how dither is able to extract signal information that would otherwise be lost below the LSB. In D/A playback, the oversampling filter transforms these signal-correlated triggers of the LSB by the dither into an approximation of the pre-digitized signal below levels of the media's LSB. (A "pulse density conversion" of the LSB, if you will.) With 24-bit D/A conversion in Redbook CD (16-bit) playback, the extra eight bits are the means to approximate this sub-LSB ("dither") signal.

By the way, your doc is about to be slammed. Stay tuned. There is a lot of technical "mumbo jumbo" in the doc, but very little useful information. It is about to be put under a microscope, sentence by sentence.
