Hi Jack and Panhead,Thanks for the responses.
Jack, I have left the DRC set at the factory default Mode 1 (reality 1 / clarity 40). Strangley enough sometimes I prefer the picture without the DRC active.
I did change out the Monster Cable HDMI cable I have been using just to check if it can be improved upon. This is Monster's top-of-the-line HDMI and I think I paid about 165.00 for it. I replaced it with one of the cheapies I bought at my local electronics store in Torrance, CA. I have two of these; one is 13ft and the other 6ft. The cheaper cable significantly improved the picture over the Monster cable. Whats even stranger is that the 13ft cable was better than the 6ft version - go figure! I am inclined to think that the Monster cable is faulty, becase it definitely should be better.
I think that source material has a lot to do with the 'noise' I'm seeing, because some material looks fantastic ie with little or no noise at all, whereas some is not too good. Any suggestions regarding specific calibration settings or DRCF settings would be appreciated. Thanks again...

DRC tends to add edge enhancement, I set it for 1,1.
When I get home, I'll look up my settings, they can make a big difference with seeing noise/crap from bad sources.
