Hello,
as I make and use my own music player, I have two questions about dither. Knowing that currently, I only output 16 bits PCM and use float32 for replaygain scaling:
* Since I use TPDF dither in the range [-1, +1], I currently clip when the dither over/underflows the sample, but is that the "right way" of doing it?
* I plan on making 24 and 32 bit output possible, for further processing; is dither even necessary at that point? The quantization error should be quite small.
* No need for float64, right?
