I PM'd John so we can take our discussion off line, but one of the points is that you will find the word "mask" in technical documents discussing dither, but it's used (properly) in the context of explaining why we can hear parts of our signal that are below the noise floor. IOW it's using the word "mask" in a different way than the suggestion that "dither masks the quantization error".
So do I really want to have to explain how we can hear some things that aren't
masked by the quantization error + dither, but we can't hear the quantization error itself because it's masked by the dither, but not, you know
masked masked, just, you know, masked?
