What I was told a while back, and I still believe to be true is:
There are basically two types or grades of DBX Noise-reduction circuitry.
The better kind one finds in the 22x outboard boxes, and uses a higher
voltage (9 ?).  The type put inboard into cassette decks runs off a
lower voltage, and the record-mode (compression) fidelity is not quite
as good. Playbacks are virtually the same.

Any one have any more on this ??  Allegedly the data sheet specs indicate
this "lower" performance, but I don't have access to them.
