DAC 1.1 on Steriods!

Hi Guys

I have a DAC 1.1 big case, with BGs, Tants and AN-V.

I think my digi board might be playing up, as I have intermittent static and it's not the tubes or dry solder joint, or appliances in the house or earthing issues or the interconnects.

SO, my question. I was thinking of ditching the old DAC digi board and getting the new signature version (as in DAC 3.1) PLUS add the IV transformers between the digi board and the analogue board, and upgrade all the transistors on the analogue board to 2W Tantalums.

Has anyone tried this, and if so, what sonics changed? I like the simplicity of this DAC (one tube) and can't stretch to a full 3.1 kit, so I was hoping this might
A) cure my static issues
B) upgrade the DAC.

I am happy with the sound right now in my all AN tubed system (though I know the 1.1 has a forward kind of presentation. it also sounds clean and has good bass, good detail.

Any insight would be super guys.
