A good audible demo of the linearizing effect of dither
The demo is 8 bits so the effect of quantization distortion is much worse compared to what 16 or more bits would sound like.
Note that dither does not simply MASK the quantizing distortion with noise, it ACTUALLY linearizes the conversion. Quantizing noise is a misnomer, it is more correct to call it quantizing distortion. http://www.audiocheck.net/audiotests_dithering.php Mark |

Dithering is a subject I don't understand very well, and this helped a lot. Part of the Monty Montgomery link I put up addresses this in a very easy to understand way. he even shows how dither causes signals below the noise floor are recoverable w/ dither. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIQ9IXSUzuM -- Les Cargill |

The math and physics behind it are beyond me, but these help me get a handle on the practical aspects. |

The math and physics behind it are beyond me, I doubt that. The notation will sure get in the way, though. but these help me get a handle on the practical aspects. -- Les Cargill |
