Hi Fons, no neutral measurements, just my individual mixing experiences. I always noticed audible noise comparable, if not more annoying noise, to noise I experienced for good analog recordings, still too much for my taste. I couldn't find an alternative solution yet. When I used Cubase for testing purpose on Windows around a decade ago, it shipped with a dithering plugin. I don't remember it's name, but after googling I guess it was https://steinberg.help/cubase_plugin_reference/v9/en/_shared/topics/plug_ref/uv22hr_dithering_r.html . I still remember that "dither noise is gated during silent passages" wasn't the only benefit, it was always nearly inaudible, at least not as loud as noise, I experienced with good analog tape recordings, while my experiences with jack2 couldn't hold a candle to this plugin.
