I am considering an AN DAC, but confused with the configurations and their performances (sound-wise of course). I would appreciate someone in this column shed some light, so I can decide. The 3.1, as far as I know, uses the 5687 tube, and the 2.1 uses 6922. the 5687 is supposed to be a very clean working tube, and has oomph also (drive?, extensions on both ends). But... is it that the 2.1 is better in the mids (what you guys have been saying)? Are the frequency extremes satisfactory at all? Supposedly, AN is to come out with a 6SN7 board (vs. the 6922 version). That's my dilemma, what to run with. I need to learn more about what should be my ultimate decision (which version to buy). Also, did I read somewhere that given the same model, the kit version would perform differerntly (sound-wise) than the factory version? I am leaning toward the kit, simply because of cost.

Any comment here would be appreciated.
