[Elecraft] K3S audio board for K3 upgrade?

[Gary Smith]

So true! 

I use tube audio gear. My Audio pre-amplifier is a McIntosh C2500 and 
I regularly use the USB input to its internal digital soundcard. The 
sound from that preamp is magnificent. When I ran the same source to 
a USB soundcard, bypassing the McIntosh digital card, with that  
signal sent to the Mc preamp & then to the amplifier, the audio was 
pitiful in comparison. The difference is remarkable in depth and 
transparency. The better soundcard stands out like a sore thumb. 

The quality of the soundcards do make a tremendous difference and 
with that said; I do prefer the sound of my K3s to the K3.

73,
