PDF (Probability Density Function)
In basic terms, the addition of a dither signal (noise) into the digital audio streams improves linearity in the repro-
duction of low-level signals. In other words, as signal level drops (such as in a fade out) dithering helps to maintain
a smooth decay. There are three options:
None
No dither signal will be added to the data.
Rectangular
A rectangle shape dither signal will be added to the data.
Triangular
A triangle shape dither signal will be added to the data.
