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?
