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.

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?

In order for a signal not be 'self-dithered' by its own noise floor, the source
would have to have a s/n ratio of 144dB with a 24 bit converter.

I won't go into how utterly unfeasible that would be.
