[Elecraft] K3S audio could be its biggest selling point

[Stewart]

Yes, of course that means only the main DSP board would be changed...

I find the headphone audio fine, so the DSP audio amp improvements may be of 
use.

I will wait to see what others who make the change have to say. Then see whether 
it is worth spending more money to replace a fairly major K3 PCB.
