I tried to replicate your findings and can´t. I use sox 14.3.1 and: sox input24.wav --bits 16 output16.wav dither -a -f shibata The resulting file has exactly the Replagain value as the 24bit file. How do you use Replaygain? I scanned for Replaygain with foobar 1.1 Throwing it into diffmaker gives really only pure dithernoise at over -100dB in the critical audioband as it should be.
