) but still I'm using applications - like Fidelizer - to reduce the negative influence of activity within the PC, and they at least
seem to improve things further (although the jury is out on memory play).
There are no absolutes in audio. Noise and distortion are never eliminated, only reduced. Less noise in equals less noise out.
