I found the Mk1 a tad warmer, but both were excellent in detail retrieval. Used it between my pre/power amp. I didn't quite like it between the source and pre.
The mk 2 is much more extended at both frequency extremes and there is a smidge more detail. I think the mk 2's can compete with the best out there at any price.
