Dynamic range matters, of course, but in using "low level" he critically conflates "low signal" with "low salience". The specific tone of a violin, say, is a relatively low salience feature (to those with little musical experience), determined by the complex pattern of harmonics, but the strength of the signal in which it is conveyed is high. Playback optimised to give the widest possible dynamic range (which is what he really means by lowering the noise floor) would not necessarily be optimised for conveying low salience features.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
