As posted before the difference is noise, numerically generated (not analog) and strangely lowpass filtered: -3dB at around 8 Khz going down to -20dB at Fs/2. The noise power is -81dB FS, which is at least 14 dB higher than would be required for any form of dithering of 16-bit PCM. At least 2.5 bits are lost. No idea what Audacity is trying to do, but it looks quite wrong.
