RE: experiments with buffer settings

Posted by soundchekk on March 14, 2017 at 02:20:07:
You're right.
It's known for a long time - at least to me - that buffers and buffer sizes can have certain impact.
And yes. The impact of large or small usually depends on each and every specific situation (SW and HW).
Sometimes this helps, sometimes that helps.

Usually dither got to be applied after the final mastering or DSP stage. Which usually would be digital volume control during playback.
And yes. This or that dither might interfere with the dither on the recording.
I'd fully agree with your conclusion.
I turned my dithered volume control off after some testing.
