The sane world of high-level languages? Cooool :)

Yeah - I'm usually happy with 110dB D+N as a listener (as is the case here, 
albeit via some far less impressive D-A converters), although I'm still 
exploring how these very good figures might still perceptibly influence a 
musician who practices long hours outside the highly compressed perceptive world 
of rock music.

Certainly I'm hearing some clarity, and I'd guess it comes from extended 
precision of some kind, within the unit. Good to hear. I thought the crunch on 
some of the distortions was as good as I've heard in the digital domain; 
extremely usable within the context.
