what is the REAL deal with DK

I don;t think that anyone said nor implied that D K was above and beyond anything out there. However comparing it to my top of line Gryphon seperate series which ran me $40,000, I can say that my experience with it at the show for 4 solid days was very positive and feel that the product is indeed a real value for the it's cost. We threw every type of music at in including some very difficult classical. You know why classical is not played at the show's much? Becasue the equipment cant do it well, so you get mostly slam, bam, wow music. The DK handeled classical quite nicely along with the WOW music. It's performance was stellar....Blah, blah, blah. That's all there really is to say.

PS: I find it very rude and offensive that some people think that all manufacturer's and members of the trade are here only for one thing...

Michaelwolff, thankyou for the response I have been looking for, what the amp does! I don't give a crap about marketing.

Michael -
I don't know anyone who said or implied that dk was above....

You must have missed these from one long time dk promoter -

"It is simply the best integrated amplifier on the market period.
I think the VAC is the only contender that will sound better then the DK,... as it should be since it costs $20K"

Funny stuff indeed, and unfortunately so predictable. And some wonder why these threads go bad quick.

Beyond the subjective listing tests and parts quality, there are also the measurements. The DK is an amp that measures better then most separates in the $10K - $20K range. Starting with the square wave response, have you looked at the traces? Perfect at 1kHz!

So while you can trash the sound all day long based on your "subjective" evaluation, you definitely get the specs that you paid for, and this means that you are getting an almost perfect reproduction of the input signal.

All of your attempts to trash this product can only be viewed as an alterior motive to accompish something that is beyond the scope of these threads.

>>you definitely get the specs that you paid for, and this means that you are getting an almost perfect reproduction of the input signal<<

This examplifies how little you know. There are many speakers that measure perfect 20-20K and sound like sh**. Specs and statistics are for losers and uninformed/uneducated audiophiles. Know what I mean Vern?
