I've always wondered about that. I read in a manual or two that dithering increases dynamic range by around -10dB.

And they would be wrong.
What dither actually does is to make digital systems work just like analog ones.......
This must have been in a book, somewhere, by now.

I thought that they meant perceived gain not actual gain measured inside a system, like what Waves says about IDR making the final 16 bit perceived more like 19 bits of resolution.

Although you may either have to stick your head in the speaker, or have a very quiet room, to hear differences at the LSB.

I'm not saying that I agree with them, but I've seen Digicheck show -107dB when inputting a 32 bit dithered to 16 bit signal. Can anyone explain what's happening here?

If your meter is right, then the amplitude is wrong. Do you have it set to 18 bit?
