With modern equipment such as DACs the signal to noise ratio is likely to be well over 100db which is huge. It would mean I think if the signal was 100db (a rock concert) the noise would be 1db (quieter than a pin dropping and indeed quieter than can be measured) when the ambient noise in a very quiet room is about 20db. In other words there is no way you can hear the noise generated by a resonably good 24 bit DAC or indeed the noise generated by a standard squeezebox touch. and they are all perfectly 'revealing' or 'transparent'.
