Would you know anything about that at all?
I'm no audio engineer, but the Wikipedia page on dithering (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dither#Digital_audio) helped me understand the concept. I assume (maybe someone more knowledgeable can confirm) that audio conversion software like dBpoweramp dithers as part of the downconversion from 24 bit to 16 bit.
