Robin Schmidt from German Studio22 has launched the The Great Dither Shootout - a blind test of professional dithering and noise shaping systems for digital audio. The test is open and all the visitors are invited to participate. According to the results, MegaBitMax algorithm (Ultra preset) takes the first place as quietest and least annoying dithering algorithm!

Learn more about dithering algorithms from our own small shootout.
