In Reply to: yep, i've been experimenting with different dither algorithms ... posted by Christine Tham on November 10, 2004 at 11:33:51:
I also agree with Christine here, and whilst I would prefer to have 24/96 Surround, 24/48 is vastly superior to CD.
The difference is clearly audible, as to my ears the increase in quality from 16 to 24 bit is greater than 48 - 96KHz sample rates.And I also use the UV22HR dither, unless I am running a surround mix that needs dither in which case I have been using the one built in to Nuendo. That one is very good indeed.

plain vanilla UV22 is still very good, the differences from UV22HR are quite subtle. UV22HR also allows dithering to 20 and 24 bits.
Nuendo has both if you install the "old version" plugs for compatibility.
Can't use the UV22HR for multichannel as it is stereo only, so I have to use the Built in Surround Dither.But the differences between UV22 and UV22HR are subtle indeed. Apparently the algo is improved, but I honestly doubt I could pick which is which.

have you tried rendering your surround mix 2 channels at a time, using UV22HR, as a final mastering step.you end up with 3 wav files, which you recombine to form your final surround master.
obviously you should only do that as your final step, when you are completely satisfied with your mix.
