Цитата: Меня не интересует эпоха записи на видеокассеты. В контексте данной ветки разговор велся о компакт дисках.

Все ясно.
Советую поискать, даже на YouTube Sony PCM 1630, ну и вообще как эти цифровые записи со студий носили на завод для тиража CD.
Много интересных деталей выяснится.

Цитата: "Flat" dither is similar to pink noise (equal energy per octave) the most common type being TPDF (triangular probability density function).

Цитата: TPDF is the industry standard technically correct boring dither. It does nothing strange or interesting, makes no effort to optimize the sound in any way (generally if you make it better for something it’s worse for something else: even Naturalize only has a limited amount of output bits to work with.)

TPDF uses two sources of noise to make what’s called a Triangular Probability Density Function, which gives it its name. If you had only one noise source, you’d get what’s called flat dither (I’m not offering that, but it’s in Ditherbox, along with truncation.) When you only have one noise source (at the correct volume, which is one bit wide) you get dithering and sounds correctly transition into silence instead of going insane with grating gnarlyness (which is what happens with truncation, anywhere and everywhere it happens) but with only the one noise source you get an effect where the noise level flutters and shifts depending on what the audio’s doing. I demonstrate this in the video, it’s quite noticeable.

With the two noise sources, TPDF transitions sounds into silence, and still keeps a totally unvarying noise profile. In a very real way, this is more analog-like. All analog circuits get some noise, and all analog circuits let sounds drop beneath that noise exactly like TPDF dither does.

That’s not to say it’s the only choice you can have for dithering: I’ll be offering up different ways to dither for weeks, each with their own interesting sound signature. I’m just saying, for what it is, TPDF dither works extremely well. If you don’t have good reasons to use something fancier, or you want something guaranteed to work on everything in any situation, TPDF dither’s the one for you. Airwindows TPDF dither is a nice high-resolution well-coded implementation, one that does the truncating for you so you can compare it (for instance, with BitShiftGain like in the video) but it’s also exactly the same as any other properly done TPDF dither out there. There’s no fancy tricks, it’s just the boring but useful TPDF dither.

Цитата: результата не будет!

Будет, только не такой приятный на слух. Выше описано.

Цитата:Спросите у счастливых обладателей мультибитов.

Стоял перед зеркалом, спрашивал. Ничего так и не понял.
Пошел обратно переключаться на BB PCM1795, может отпустит.
