Has anyone heard a DNA-1 with the Gravity Base upgrade?

I'm thinking of having my DNA-1 upgraded with the Gravity Base system; has anyone heard it?  What are your thoughts?  There's not much online about it yet; I'm a big fan of Steve McCormack's work, but would like to hear from experienced listeners.

From the absence of replies, it looks like you're not the only one.  C'mon, Goners, nobody's heard one of these yet?  Crickets...

Sorry I didn't see this question earlier. I had my DNA-1's updated by Steve last summer and got one of the first base system installations. It, is, frankly, as big a positive surprise as his VRE preamp was when I bought it years ago. I've yet to hear an amp that sounds as good. Sound emerges from a dead quiet, black background and is dynamic and revealing, yet warm and musically engaging.

Thanks @jaker — I went ahead with the mod, and I agree!

I just received my DNA.5 with the gravity base system.


It is truly remarkable .  My expectations were far exceeded.

@willhifi  Thanks for your update -- I'm very happy with mine, too, and surprised we haven't heard more about them on Agon.  Hopefully, the word will get out eventually!
