Aren't you an adept of "it's not true until proven otherwise"? Because I'm
not the one making a claim here. I'm all for a public A/B testing that would
prove it true. Until then, well it's not true, to me. You can't come up with
"my audio cables sound better" and say that it's true because the opposite
hasn't been proven yet.
And again, there are a variety of real-world use cases where the 16 bit
audio from a CD (or whatever) has its dynamic range reduced in the
playback
chain. Are we supposed to just ignore those use cases?
Wait, are you saying that you would then introduce an even greater dithering
noise, to mask possible dynamic range reduction in the playback chain?
Because what has been suggested won't fix that. What would you dither to,
14bit? That rather goes to the opposite direction of the claim that
"engineers shouldn't do things according to the lowest common denominator".
A video you should watch as well, btw:

There is just no way A/B testing on a sample of listeners,
at loud, but still realistic listening levels, would show that
dithering to 16bit makes a difference.
Well, can you refer us to an A/B test that confirms your assertions?
Personally I take a dim view of people telling me that a test would surely
confirm their assertions, but without actually doing any test.
