Dither

Dithering algorithm is implemented using the POW-R set of algorithms. Graph  shows the three algorithms

at 44.1kHz and 88.2kHz sampling rates each.

Graph 9: Output spectrum with 80dBFS / 1kHz sine wave, dithered to 16 Bits, using the three POW-R algorithms at 44.1kHz and

88.2kHz respectively
