It could easily be normal, depending on context.  What is the S/N
difference in any given spectral band?  +/-300 would be perfectly
acceptible if it reprensents a .1dB max weighted spectral difference
from reference.

Or, a good end-to-end test: put on some good headphones and listen.
If you don't trust your ears, grab a golden ear you trust.  If it
sounds right, it probably is.

Tremor should not have a noticalby lower S/N than reference, unless
you're using the low-precision option.  The low-mem branch does not
have any output quality penalty.
