Straight forward dither always adds noise – it can only produce signals with a
noise floor higher than Q noise on its own. However, the noise power added is
a few dBs for simple types. Noise shaping adds rather more noise, but it can be
made to add it in parts of the spectrum that the ear is less sensitive to, so the
perceived noise (F weighted noise) is lower – up to three bits lower. It results in
a signal that the ear hears as having a far
lower
noise floor than a 16 bit
truncated signal, rather than the “not much worse” of dither alone, even though
there is really more noise present

Table 11 – Dither and Noise Shaping Noise Powers
Noise shaping on its own is not perfect. It relies on a small amount of noise in
the input signal to generate the frequency shaped correction signal, and if there
is very low noise in the input signal, this mechanism can break down. With
ADCs, however, this situation does not arise, because of the analogue noise in
the ADC and the input signal.

DSD carries this further. The principle is the same, but with DSD, there is more noise than there is signal,
even at full scale. It is just that it is in a part of the spectrum the ear cannot hear.

16 bit Q noise is -98.1 dB relative to a full scale sine wave.
