A thought on Noise (the nemesis of silence between notes) starts at the front of the gain stage chain (assuming that all the stages are working right). It has a simple equation from information theory,
Noise = f + 1/f + 1/f^2 + 1/f^3 . . . .
So look to the beginning of the chain.
Resolution in audio focuses on the distortion of the timbre of the sounds to which you are listening. Noise between the notes is the biggest problem, as I have written elsewhere, it is a cascading effect, most pernicious in its nature, one hard to combat, and completely disruptive of the illusion of reproduced music.
