Dither is used to avoid artifacts of digital signal processing. Side effect of dither is that Signal/Noise ratio is slightly reduced or artifacts do not completely disappear. Set as desired.


Dither 1 (Default):	This is a Marantz developed dither that reduces digital artifacts while reducing SNR only very little.
Dither 2:	Classic dither that reduces all artifacts but also reduces SNR.
Off:	Highest SNR but digital artifacts may slightly influence soundstage or colorate the sound.

NOTE

The Dither function does not work when playing a Super Audio CD or DSD audio source.
