In my opinion the KAF2 is essential. The always in-line low pass filter significantly reduces the high frequency audio hiss and makes SSB in particular much nicer to listen to. Assuming that your hearing extends above 3kHz.
Note that there is a daughter board add on for earlier versions of the K3 which does the same thing. This filter was incorporated into the DSP board in a later revision. See the Elecraft web site for info.
