That's all correct. Perhaps my choice of words was unfortunate. I did not
say it produced any more GAIN. Rather I said that the DSP action resulted
in more gains (in the war against noise....that is....it made progress,
reduced the noise further). But in a quick read it may have seemed I was
claiming that it somehow produced GAIN...i.e., amplification. It does not,
and I did not. I agree with the statements you made below.
