Two things about the used dither. Some people claim that even truncating hard the last 8bit should not be audible with music playing. Using a low amount of dither with music should be sufficient because no matter how you try there is some own noise there. In this case 0.5 bit are used. With synthetic music or signals like some sinuids it may be different. Archimago also used stupid, flat dither to make it not easily visible. A noise-shaped dither used with 96kHz easily could have archieved 20dB more content in the audible range up to 20kHz. So IF there already are no clear results showing the inferiority of the 16bit files you should wonder what all the talk of different dither approaches and magic sound of dither is worth.
