That's pretty much the usual results as long as the dither
is adequate. And, given how noisy any real-world program
material is compared to dithered 16 bits, it is possible
that you may never find examples of inadequate dither.

Perhaps you were mislead into thinking that differences
among different kinds of adequate dither were going to be
mind-boggling.

Tain't so.
