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?!

speaking of "measurements"...Stereophile didn't seem too impressed...but then again...it's never to late to change your tune Audioari1...you can now switch over to the measurements don't mean S#%& camp.

Or, Ellery, maybe the sample DK sent to Stereophile was a problematic one and hence the poorer then expected measurements? And therefore this is the reason why the reviewer thought the DK could compete with amps in the $5k - $7K range, but not with amps over $10K as claimed in many other reviews? You see, the measurements correlate with sound quality beautifully...

hmmm...seems like I have heard that one before...what's the deal?...can't they get their QC under control? *Especially* for ones that are being sent out for reviews that will subsequently be public information?
