Things to aid with harshness reduction while allowing hi-resolution playback with the LKS:
- Get rid of the Crystek 575 clock. Mine now has a TXC low phase 100MHz crystal and is a lot less bright with better fine detail
- Implement one of the internal RFI/EMI shielding ideas presented here, especially around the digital toroid
- Place the LKS on good isolation as it is very susceptible to vibrations (I use an Electric Beach shelf with Black Ravioli feet)
- Use a regenerated or very well filtered mains feed with a good power cable
- Select your interconnects carefully (balanced sound better with the LKS) and don't use silver cables
