If one is looking to improve performance on the BBD modules I'd think  
besides a steep filter, wouldn't one also want a compander (compressor  
& expander) to improve signal to noise

yes, indeed that helps to improve the signal/noise ratio.
anyway you have to filter out the clock noise before
comressing the signal, otherwise the clock noise is
compressed too and gets even more audible.

i mean, of course, when compressing the bbd output.
compressing the input is good in any case and doesn't
affect the clock noise.
