Well, you realize that at an 8 bit quantization level the best S/N ratio you can expect is going to be equivalent to an unencoded cassette. But I believe we've had this conversation before, and I seem to remember your saying it was quite a bit worse than that. Have you spoken to Mimetics about the problem? I wish I could hear the ones you are listening to in comparison with the ones I have. The Mimetics is no noiser than any of the others I have here for review, and I'd love to know how that compares with what you're hearing.
