-33 is the lowest I've personally decoded, been decoded, and have seen 
between others.  Currently running WSPR4 in Linux with a Microham MK2R+ 
(built in USB soundcard).

 Yesterday I decoded a Chinese station on 30m WSPR, at a level of -28.

According to something you said in your interface PDF, the -28 seems to
 indicate that I already have a decent sound card (among other 
things.) What
do you think?
  
 Probably yes, but my testing was JT65, where -22 to -23 is pretty much 
the lower limit at which signals can be decoded. WSPR uses a more 
powerful noise reduction protocol that can get deeper into the noise 
floor. Check the WSPR doc for what that limit is.
