Dither: Does It Matter?
Dither really seems to be this mystery thing in audio that most people don’t quite have a grasp on. You can use math and plot graphs to explain and show what it does.

Dither: Which is the best?
Which is the best dither? Truthfully I have no idea. There are several different types available. Before we tackle which is the best dither, let’s examine what dithering does.
