Hi Phil, The 16 bit - 96 dB is the dynamic range of a 16 bit signal (smallest discernible to maximum signal). That is not the same as the noise floor. The SB3 is a 24 bit DAC product. JA is measuring digital silence, therefore the SB3 DAC gets a zero signal at 24 bit input, even though original data was only 16 bit. This means absolute perfection would be -144 dB, which of course no DAC achieves.
Doesn't help much with your measurement though, very strange. At least the Touch is comparatively that much better.
