What are the changes you made to the TT file to achieve this? I'm
curious to try them. Is it this one?

I have performed these mods and can recommend them. Result is reduced

Thanks for that. Think I will keep my eye open for a base DAC1 and see
if I can get a bargain. In the meantime I best make an appointment with
my local dealer.

If you're going to go for a Benchmark consider a Pre or HDR model -
perhaps used if you're on a budget. The analogue attenuation is a plus
in my view.
In addition, all models can be configured at -10, -20, and -30db with
internal jumpers for gain staging.

Thanks for your reply, much appreciated. I was assuming as much but
wondering if there were really some hi-fi bargains out there in the
Emotiva/Audio-gd/Heed brands? I came very close to buying a Heed as it
was very cheap being an ex-dem unit but I was out off by the lack of
internal real estate o
Strictly my opinion--but you may notice an improvement with a sub $1k
DAC; the sweetspot for DAC's is generally $1500-$2500 for significant
improvements. Of course going with a used unit will be very cost
effective. I'd look for a used Benchmark/Bel Canto/Wyred, etc.

SQNR is just the term that is used for quantization distortion because
the random nature of it is noise like.
If distortion doesn't rise as the number of bit s is decreased, why
would we even bother with

Me too. ;)
No. Just kidding.
As you've noticed SBGK tries this or that modification in the process
priority setting area. Today it's prio 51 on this process and tommorrow
it is prio 1 on another process.
It's a trial and error exercise, since you don't know exactly how

Here is a discussion of distortion vs number of bits:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal-to-noise_ratio
and here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantization_error
The key equation you will find over and over is:
Signal to noise Quanitzation Noise Ratio(SQNR)is:
SQNR = 1.761 _ 6.02 * (Q) (in dB
Hopefully, I'm not the only one who's a bit fuzzy on SBGK's tweak.
Klaus, since you're "da man" here:
1. Is this tweak actually worth trying? I can't really tell whether,
in the end any difference was noted, or not.
2. If so, just how does one apply it? A quick step-by-step just like
the TT3
