Hi Bruce,
in some threads we have had interesting discussions relating to aspects of ADC-DAC and I posted some technical links relating to dither to show its importance with regards to resolving transfer function related (quantization "step-staircase") and distortion-noise.
However in many threads and debates one aspect never really discussed is how the dither is implemented within the studio, some articles I posted-linked anecdotally infer that while dither is critical its implementation is also as important, not just the aspect of TPDF but also at what point applied and ensuring limited use of dither (not repeated).
This is compounded that from what I can tell there is no defined standard to its use for studios, and also truncation of 24-bit masters to 16-bit remix-remastering releases.
Any chance you could provide some insight into this, such as what stage it is implemented, studio considerations, state of a universal standard-guideline,etc.
Cheers
Orb
