Agreed--analog delays in general tend to be noisier than their digital
counterparts. Many flangers and phasers tend to derive their "whoosh"
sound from the noise that is mixed in.
I'm not familiar with the DN34, but I have the DN36 and I quite like it.
I imagine they are from the same series, though. Did you ever open yours
up and look at how many ICs are in there? It puts the Synthex to
shame...
