It's not that my 1.2 sounded better; it's that the 3.1x I heard exhibited a quality I cannot abide. After playing for only 30 seconds it went back in its shipping box never to heard from again. That was very unfortunate because I was expecting great things from AN in that price range. It was especially unfortunate for the dealer who acquired all the gear and drove 140 miles to my place. We spent the afternoon comparing transports, digital cables, and LP vs CD. I could not hear a difference between the $3K AN digital cable and my $0.15 wire. The same with the CDT. On the other hand, LPs were a clear winner.
BTW, I hear the same defect in other DACs that omit a proper reconstruction filter.
