Upgrading AudioNote DAC2 older version Help


Hi,
I own an older AudioNote DAC2 and plan to upgrade some of its components. Could anyone provide me with any information of which part should I upgrade and using which type of components (ie. using which BlackGate?)
I currently had its tubes replace with the Amperex 6922 PQ, however, the effect was minimal. I hope by using the BlackGate, its performance would increase near/similar to the newer DAC2.1x.
Thanks so much.

Regards,

A big improvement that AN itself upgraded was to remove the filters from the DACs. Does your DAC still have a filter? It's not simply a matter of removing it; the internals have to be reconfigured slightly. IME this was a worthwhile upgrade.

Check out the Audio Note Kits forum. It's somewhere on the Audio Asylum. There may be parts info discussed.
