It's noticeable if the sample is recorded with too low sample rate, or if samples are mixed at too low volume.
With samples recorded at full volume the dynamic range should be at least as good as cassette tape, and with their playback volume controlled by Paula it's even better. If you can hear quantization noise it's probably due to poor samples or a bad player.
