What about:

Case 3:

file generated as case 2.

playback

digital file ---> add some noise and hum *mathematically* ---> D/A --->
amplifier ---> speakers


what's the diff?  For example, Steinberg's loveley 'Grungelizer' plugin.
Makes the cleanest VSTi sound like it was sampled from a wire recording from
the '20s!
