From what I understand, dithering noise isn't 'added' during dithring but is a mere *relatively equal* spreading of the quantization distortion 'energy' across the whole frequancy spectrum, hance make it quiter from the psychoacusticall human ear aspect. So filterting out that dithering noise...

Thanks all for the answers! I'll test double blindly for actual audible bebfits for my hypotesis sometimes in the future + Some intersting insight from Paid Gemini Pro AI on the matter: " Putting it all together Dithering with Strong Noise Shaping at High Sampling Rate: You start with a...

@DVDdoug: One of mine objectives to keep the dithering noise as absent as possible w/o compression & w/o avoiding dither which prevents the much worser then anything Quantization Distortion. @Blumlein 88 : You got my thinking absolutely right! But what if: [24bit, 44.1Khz] -----> {Upsample...

And what if I use strong noise shaping to move most of the noise to high sample rates in the hundred of khz when reducing to 8bit depth, and then downsampling that file to to 44.1khz while most of the dithering noise left in the hundreds of khz is eliminated?

8bit is per request from me (I guess for use in custom modded game for some old console)... I know it suboptimal bit depth but higher bit depth isn't an option. So I'm trying to make the best of it... Am I?

@SIY: I'm trying to eliminate as far as possible the added dithering information... while keeping the benefits of dithering's spreading the quantization error equally as background noise. So eliminating quantization noise is basically free removal of quantization error? @Blumlein 88:8 bit files...

Hi all, Its Time to nerd out : So I have a 16bit 44.1khz wav, with intention to convert it to 8bit 44.1khz w/ least SQ reduction possible. The method I thought of is: An attempt to demonstrate the method in chart: [16bit, 44.1Khz] -----> {Upsample w/ SOX to 384KHZ} -----> [16bit, 384Khz]...
