Personally having used two different K3 radios and then my K3S, the
difference was enough for me to buy a new K3S. Small or
incremental........nah, very noticeable specially coming from someone
{me} who worked in professional audio and recording studio environment
most of my career. Of course you may have other objectives. Operator
skill and correctly setting up the radio parameters is a major key to
ones overall success and satisfaction. In fact, one can adjust the
various parameters where the radio sounds and performs poorly. That's
not the radio's fault.
I'll say the overall performance enhancements and difference is indeed
a complication of improvements, not just solely the audio.
With a compilation of older and newer radios, a IC-756pro II, a
TS-590S, and an Orion at my disposal, they don't stand anywhere near the
performance and overall signal quality of the K3S. As to whistles and
bells offered by the others.........toot toot and ding-a-ling. They
don't impress me.

In the real world, is that "theoretical" improvement noticeable? The
improvement I am looking for is significant - not small or
incremental. Perhaps it is more than the K3 can provide?
