I think if you only originally capture 10 bit then that's all you've got to
play with - even if it is presented in a 16 bit form.  The issue here is the
weakness of the original capture.  Try a MF digital back with true 16bit
capture.  An up-sampler ie interpolator might help but is no replacement for
a better original capture.
