Re: Understanding bit-depth conversion and dithering

["Lou Judson" inaudio]

Not fair, not unbiased, Raimund. 24 is to 12 as 16 is to 8, I think.
And "imagining" this kind of comparison is like listening to an
audiophile talk - nothing real there, just imaginary concepts.

*I* can hear the difference, as it is not the noise floor but the
resolution of the entire range that is improved with 24 bit.

I consider www.digido.com a very high authority on the subject.
It is far more than the dynamic range...
