OK, now I know about Audio Note dacs....


I just built a dac2 kit and it completely impressed me well beyond anything I expected. I had never heard one before buying this kit.
Now that their dac has earned its #1 lead in digtal area of my system, I am very anxious to hear the Audio Note speakers. I wish I knew someone in the Chicago area that would let me have an audition.
Is the dac 3.1 WAYYYYY better sounding than the dac 2.1?

There are a couple of comparisons of the AN DAC 3.1 to the 2.1 on the Audio Note Kits website at Audio Note DAC Kit 3.1 Balanced / RCA that also gives info on upgrading the 2.1 to the 3.1 DAC.

I would let your kit DAC do a complete burn-in and become accustomed to the sound before proceeding with any upgrades. I'm sure it sounds great. Enjoy it.
Hi

The AN Kits DAC 2.1 can be upgraded considerably for a modest cost and at that point exceeds the DAC 3.1 stock performance.

I can probably arrange for you to audition a pair of AN Kit speakers in the Chicago area.... please contact me tubeheadz@yahoo.com
Actually a guy liked the 3.1 version more than the previous...he noticed improvement on vocals and soundstage.
