It's hard to tell from the screenshot how big the files are... but they
look as if they might be tiny.  The line 1 difference might I guess be
a date/time stamp, if the file format allows that.

Then ... do we have just one or two 'frames' (if that's an appropriate
term) of audio?  Might they also have a date/time stamp in them?

I'd have thought a dither difference would affect many bytes in the 
audio
stream, but then again maybe that depends on what the audio in the file
actually is - silence, test tones, real music?
