Why dbx particularly?  Some people say you can hear the "pumping" on
dbx.
Actually the best bet would probably be no Dolby or dbx at all, on a
good deck with either Type II or Type IV tape, for minimal high-frequency
distortion.  I`ve copied CD`s on my Sony TCFX-66 with UCX-S, Dolby C,
or no Dolby, with results that are better than anything else I`ve ever
heard on a cassette deck, pre-recorded or home-recorded.
The dynamic range on the CD`s requires the recording level to be quite 
a bit lower than would be OK for recording from radio or LP, so the quiet
sections on the CD do sound a little hissy.  But, those CD`s so far released
have precious few quiet sections anyway.
