I doubt that the DK is pure Class A as well. Their specs are very criptic (much like YBA/Audio Refinement). As with the YBA/Audio Refinement gear (as well as all other gear) I think that the DK should be auditioned at home with your speakers to know if it works well. The DK stuff catchs hell hear in the forums by... lets not call them pretentious... well-meaning audiophiles with deeper pockets and more deep-seated predjudices than most. However, my untrained ear found the DK integrated to be very enjoyable to listen to.
