Interesting? What does interesting have to do with anything? Where was a proof point with controlled listening test to demonstrate the truth there?
Where is the proof point of that? And what is that "might" statement about? He does or does not know that is the case?
There is no there there. That kind of write-up might impress folks in an audiophile forum where people understand much less than he does.
In this site, we go by what we can prove, not what we believe. Measurements are repeatable and provable facts. Speculation like above is neither.
I mean did you really read statements like this and thought it was interesting?
Remove what noise? Dither? Author is welcome to capture audio in 24 bit format without dither and tell us it sounds unacceptable. Even in 16 bit it will be very hard for him to hear effect of dither let alone become unacceptable.
Sure, if you are dealing with 8 bit audio, you absolutely need dither. But then he claims dither doesn't work because the brain doesn't average noise to hear its benefit. Which case is he trying to make?
). But it may take some reading and thinking... Scientific American I always found interesting but had to work through the jargon for anything not in my field (and some that were; for a short while I actually understood aleph-one vs. aleph-null and the infinity of the continuum, and even had a decent understand of mitosis though been a while since all those pre-med courses).
