[sdiy] Minimum SNR for quality analog music synthesis?

[Aaron Lanterman]

I'm on a couple of PhD proposal committees related to field-programmable 
analog arrays. I've poking around and peeking and pushing for musical 
applications.

The devices they're working on are low voltage - 3.3 volts, or even less 
(they're designed for power power applications). I've been asking about 
SNR...

When they ask me what SNR, say, their filters or amplifiers should have to 
be good for music, what numbers should I tell them?

More details coming as I have them...
