I've done tests and 18-bits is pretty much my limit to hear any differences dither can make, and that is it loud listening levels. At 20-bits I can't tell any difference unless I do something pathological like only listen to the tail and then boost the crap out of it. > ...But at 16-bit, it’s just not that hard to hear it—an edge case, for sure, > but it’s there, so they will want to act on it, and I don’t think that’s > unreasonable. I agree.
