Thank you for the link Mr. Krueger! Interesting discussion on the paradigm. As for RPDF dithering as a "probe" for suboptimal DACs, it looks like they acknowledge "the quantisation and dither tests were reported for information but are not central to the point of the paper." Okay... The last sentence of the Stuart reply: "we have continued this series of experiments using different filters (including both shorter and minimum-phase designs) and will be reporting these findings in the near future." I'm sure we'll be looking forward to this paper. So, I feel like I'm missing something here and curious about practical implications: 1. As for the actual claims of "The Audibility of Typical Digital Audio Filters in a High-Fidelity Playback System" per the title, what exactly did they find here? (Other than suboptimal dithering being audible...) 2. What device uses 16-bit RPDF dithering which would be of any significance for the hi-fi enthusiast these days?
