So far improvements seem subtle, didn't have much of an opportunity to listen and I'll leave on overnight to help with breakin. After all my questions about BNC to RCA adapters, it came with a set. I still used the gold plated one from Radio Shack, as the others were just nickel[?] plated. I did find John Lewis' "Evolution" more involving. I bought this CD after reading a couple of reviews, that really raved about it. Sound quality is good, I just never connected with the content until today.
Happy listening,
Jeff

do a search for "monolithic sound" on the general forum. There should be a thread with Dusty Vawters phone #. He may still service old AA equipment.Regards,

They aren't covered by any warranty, but my understanding is that Dusty the former service manager for Audio Alchemy will repair and do upgrades. The company is Channel Audio and he can be reached at 805-382-9398 or at ciaudio@cruz.isle.net

Dusty is one hell of a nice guy. He serviced my AA Ultra DAC 2 years ago. I hope he is still supporting the old product.
Specifically listen for an increase in bass depth (could be an apparent decrease in slam too) , more resolution and air round treble and mids as well a "larger , wetter" sound , listen to note decay.
Some CDs demonstrate the effects dramtically , others not , My Charlie Byrd "au Courant" is one that demos the effects of various digital enhancements well (has xylophones etc etc) Busy or relaively compressed music doesnt seem to change much.
Good luck and good listening
