I gave you the wrong site for the diodes. My computer, trying to be helpful,
filled something in it thought was close.The three tines was the tip off I had
gone wrong.
I looked up the ones you have on board. This is not the ones I see on all the
AN DACs at their site. I bet someone has read my posts some years back,
Here is the one in mine: http://www.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-

The difference is phenomenal. It lets through all the music as the stocks ones
couldn't. Drum solos are amazing. Slam attack is nothing I have heard with
any DAC. The highs come into focus. Transients improve. Singers step
forward, while drums are behind with force.
I first did this with an AN One .1. I held an audio party. A fellow audiophile put
on his AN DAC 2.1 with lots of upgrades. After about 10 minutes of this, one
of the fellows yelled out, "Can we put Vince's DAC back in please?" It makes
that much different. Now, with my DAC 2.1, the music is better than anything
I have heard. Just imagine what your 3.1 will do.
We went to see Chanticleer on one of their rare visits, and bought their last
Christmas CD. We put it on the system, and the similarity with the real thing
was amazing.
