Couple of the Wki things - 24 bit recording isn't
always dithered,
As a practical matter *every* real-world 24 bit
audio recording *is* dithered by random noise from
other parts of the recording chain.
You'd be be hard preseed NOT to dither a 24 bit
recording - LMAO ! Silly beyond extreme.
No point shooting messenger people:

I intentionally didn't look up the reference since I
was much more interested in your interpretation of it.
"24-bit audio is sometimes used undithered"

Is mine a misinterpretation?


Well .... if you had a source with 144 dB s/n ratio it
would be undithered. Got it yet ?

Got what?


The reality that any real world 24 bit program is going to have a noise
floor that is so much higher than the LSB that it is always dithered.
