Does DK Design actually design and manufacture?

Shamburg it seems like you have an agenda when you ask a question to which, based on your second post, you already know the answer.

Why are you asking this question?

Thanks, Trejla. Your comments definitely apply to both discussions. One more, and you'll have your hat trick. :-)

Uppermidfi:

I most certainly do not have the answer, which is what occasioned this thread.

DK Design puts out really splendid looking components. Friends of mine have told me how great these products sound, too. I've even heard one of the DK amps and thought it sounded quite good.

Intrigued by this brand, I searched around the posts in Audio Asylum, where I
came across the hint (or rumor or inuendo) that DK products were rebadges of existing products designed and manufactured in China (Taiwan, to be extact). I have no idea if this is true, but wanted to find out; hence this post.

If this, in fact, is true, it does not detract from the sound or design quality of these products. However, given that DK Design makes no mention of the true (?) provenance of its products on its website, this would cast this company in a somewhat negative light for me.

So: does DK design these products (ie, the electronics) themselves? Or not? What's the answer, boys?

I know of only one Agon member who can definitively answer your question. Send an E-mail to "Lrsky", I'm sure he will be most happy to accommodate you.

Check out this link to CAV Audio, a chinese company. The shot of one of their amplifiers, especially of the innards, will look familiar to you DK owners. And check Audio Asylum for DK discussions that are already old news, it seems.
