Sorry to sound confused. I'm looking at the total distortion, i.e. "noise" (the word is not quite appropriate) that is caused by quantization, plus uncorrelated noise, i.e. from imperfections of the...

For fun, I'm attaching here the residual spectra for the PC and the Amiga. Note that both are amplified by 6 bits (i.e. approximately 36dB). On the PC side, you see that there are some low-power...
