I'm going to try this (lowering the digital level by a small amount) later as it requires quite a complex comparative listening session. Having read the paper, one of the issues is how the DAC handles signals at 0dB - regardless of they got to be on the CD. Obviously what is on the CD is fixed, but I can see how it might help to give (the analogue parts of) the DAC a dB or so of headroom. I also have the X-DAc v3 and X10 so it should be interesting...
