In Reply to: RE: DAC I/V Transformer comparison posted by DougE on May 11, 2009 at 19:03:59:
I have a DAC Kit 2.1 Level C Signature with the standard IE core output transformers. With well over 500 hours of use, I continue to be amazed at its performence. Just when I think that I have a handle on its limits, an upgrade in the amplifier, reveals yet more detail, extension, dynamics and musical flow. I am not sure how much system upgrading the DAC will support, but it has already far exceeded my expectations.
At some point it will be worthwhile to consider upgrades to the DAC. To that end, I wonder if there would be a greater sonic improvement from replacing the standard IV transformers with upgraded units (496 or 497), or from replacing the IE core OTs with Hi-B C-core OTs. Obviously replacing both would be great, but as a step on the 'upgrade path', which of these alternatives would be the most effective?
