Opinion: should (shaped) dithering noise (~3 LSBs peak @ 16bit) qualify as "digital silence"? If not, how do you transition between true zero samples and dithering?

-78dB sounds pretty silent to me.

What's the difference if you have a long, stable DC offset in a digital sound recording? It'll still sound "silent" in isolation. :P

Dithering isn't a stable DC offset. But in either case, there may/will be a discontinuity when audio switches to/from digital silence.

Digital silence means something: no content at all. dithering isn't no content, it's just no audible content. But since we're in context-is-important land.... [transition any way you like, so long as the transition is inaudible. Also context dependent.]

Context: final mastering a CD with dithering applied throughout. Wondering if there's any merit to trying to fade to digital silence (which isn't easy to do, because you can't smoothly fade quantized dither post facto) at the beginning/end and/or between tracks.
