Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Re: Thanks Peter

*I remain perplexed - what are the exact opposite design philosophies you refer to? I have always understood that any quality component is designed to be as neutral as possible and assume the AN was designed this way also.*

John,

With all due respects, there are more than one design philosphies to get a satisfying musical playback. ( if there's only one, then why there are so many kits with different voicing? )

No doubt that the AN is a fine component and there must have been a reason you've bought it in the first place. Surely, you must have detected some redeeming quality?

The AN DAC might did not fit your interpretation of the *good* digital playback, but it can satisfy another's.

Move on and follow your gut. Enjoy what you have. At least you found something you really like. ( just don't expect all digital to sound your version of 'good' )

There might be a way you can make the AN to sound to your satisfaction. But I suspect it involves consderable system change and effort. Even then, there's no guarantee it'll make you completely happy.
