Does the DK Mk 2 invert polarity?
I do not think it inverts polarity, but it is best to contact DK Design Group to find out for sure. 
A review Bound for Sound for Pass Labs fans
Mr. DeWulf also thought that the DK Design Group VS-1 Signature sounded just as good as the Pass, except he thought the Pass was MAYBE a bit better in the bass:"I had to insert the Pass X350.5 with the Symfonia Opus 8 preamplifier to improve on th... 
Lowther speakers
These speakers have a truly fantastic midrange, but in my opinion average everything else. The highs are a bit dull lacking some life and sparkle, while the bass is clean but cannot handle loud or complex music. Nevertheless, these speakers do com... 
DK Design VS.1 Reference mkII - Optimization
The DK amp is supplied with a regular computer power cord, such as the one that comes with most Dell PCs. I had several discussions with DK regarding this and they are simply selling the amp and circuitry at the lowest possible price with a cheap ...

Tvad, you are absolutely right. 
DK Design VS.1 Reference mkII - Optimization
I dont think vibration is an issue with the DK amp. It is a very massive peace of equipment and there is no vibration to speak of. This brings me back to the EMI issue. The concept is quite simple, some of the EMI bounces off the aluminum cover an...

I have not tried ERS paper, but one manufacturer that supplies a lexan cover instead of an aluminum one is DartZeel. Their amplifier, as you can see in a lot of literature, is supplied with a clear cover specifically for that reason. Maybe shoot a...

Tvad, I am telling you the amp sounds better with the aluminum cover off. In an industry where people use little pebbles, roller blocks, and expensive power cords I find it surprising that you should have difficulty accepting that the aluminum cov...

This is so far, the most polite discussion about DK Design Group products I have ever seen in the forums. This is a nice change for the better.

One way to achieve the best sound and still have a cover for your DK is to have one made from Lexan. It is a clear material, so the cover will be see through, but it wont have the electro-magnetic bounce effect like the aluminum cover does. I thin... 
DK Design VS.1 Reference mkII - Optimization
Tvad, I am fairly certain that it is not due to the cooling effect because the amp doesn't get very hot in the first place. And it makes logical sense that the electromagnetic bounce effect is at play here. In any case, whatever you want to call i...

One tweak that I tried that makes a BIG difference is playing the amp with the cover off. When the cover is on, electromagnetic waves bounce off the metal and back into the amplifiers circuitry. When the cover is off, you will be surprised how muc... 
Integrated amp: VAC, DK ref, Ayon Sunrise or Karan
DK puts out upto 800W into a 1ohm load! Plenty of power for the Magico's. 
Just ordered my Supratek Chenin Preamp
I am wondering why people are buying Supratek pre-amps but you never hear anyone ever talking about Supratek amps. Why is that? 
Comparing MA-6900 to the DK Design VS-1 MkII. . .
Kalan, when you say that your sample could have been sub-standard or that something may have been wrong with it, what do you mean by that?
