what is the REAL deal with DK

I know there has been a lot on this manufacturer, but I just discovered them myself(today). I have never read so many positives while at the same time read so many negatives on any on amp(or any product for that matter). At the same time they are getting huge pats on the back from two different magazines? Could some owners of the Dk vs1 mk 2 offer there opinions that still own them, I maybe looking for an intergrated hybrid that has some power and this is the only one that seems to fit the bill in my price range. So...why the extreme positive and negative?!

Matt's a Jan '06 member. What a surprise. Deja Vu all over again.

Maybe Danny Keshin kept some names in reserve and he's coming back to haunt us. Say it ain't so.

Does anybody have feedback on the Lsa/DK Sig amp demo'd in Vegas.Just wondering how the sound compares to the DKmk2.I must add that i heard the MK2 with my Reimer Tetons and thought it sounded great(tubes do seem to make a huge difference).The feedback i have gotten so far is that the new amp semms to do everything a little better? Sorry,hope i did'nt hijack the thread.Thanks Kevin

Still wondering why the two magazines gave the dk such impressive praise? I guess what everybody is saying is that the marketing got in the way of an outstanding product? I have a Cayin ta-30 integrated and was looking for some more power along with the mixture of the tubes with solid state. Just trying to figure out if it would be that dramatic of an upgrade?

Ever heard of advertising dollars? I see that DK buys a cover page on Stereophile. I don't know what mags you're refferring to, but money talks volumes.
