Hi everyone....

Let's get this topic in perspective....

The 12au7 analog line board is a very nice upgrade to the DAC 2.1 (both versions) and is not intended to replace the DAC 3.1's 5687 line board.

Each tube type has its own sonic footprint and the AN Kits respond very well to fine tuning by trying different brands of tubes, until you find the one that works for you in your system.

In general the 12au7/ECC82 tube is warmer in tonality than the 6922/ECC88 types. There are always exceptions, and I don't want to get a long tube discussion. If you would like more of the sense of "being there" and less of the "great hi-fi sound" then this is the one to have.

Feel free to contact me for more details.... and as always... enjoy the music.
