Resolution: DSD vs 16bit vs 24 bit

Mofimadness, thank you. How do you place clickable link?

Mitch4t - Thanks!

Tomcy6, AFAIK dither is not "done" but happens
automatically. Imagine converting level that is exactly 50%
between two LSB values. Because there is always some random
noise LSB will oscillate 0 to +1 at about 50% rate. When
value is at 3/4 then LSB will be on high side (+1 bit) 3/4
of the time. In playback it can be filtered to original
value increasing resolution. As for the fancy words used in
article: "Quantization noise" means simply a
staircase. "Bigger quantization noise" mean taller
steps. Higher frequency of quantization noise means more of
the smaller steps etc. Filtering is basically smoothing off
the staircase.
