Sonic improvements with the Level-2 are:
Improvements over the stock model are amazing. Bass and dynamics are dramatically improved by our op amps, BlackGates and diodes. It is now smoother sounding (resistors and caps), more transparent (connectors, wire) and imaging and 3-dimensionality are world-class
Our mod takes this accoladed Stereophile Class A-rated component to a much higher level. This mod is offered for a fraction of the cost it would have been if originally manufactured with these parts.
The Level-2 unit will now compete with any DAC made, regardless of price.
Warranty is 90 days parts & labor on modifications we perform on pre-owned units. See the manufacturer's website for further information.
