“Nasal” Audio Note 3.1x Balanced.

I have an Audio Note 3.1x Balanced. This is the new type with 2x 12au7. I think this DAC sounds a “nasal”. I have had many other AN DAC’s before, and have mot noticed these colorations. I have tried to change the tubes to Telefunken ECC802s and Siemens CV4003 tipple micas with no luck. Does anyone have any idea what I can do? (Change to better resistors, capacitors etc..)??

Hello,

I had this Dac myself and sold it, without any doubts. An old DAC3 or a great DAC4 signature, are far better.
This 3.1x bal sound mechanic and crispy.

It seems that the new one is ok (MKII).
