for the DNA-2 Revision A
I own the DNA-2 LAE (Limited Anniversary Edition retailed for $7k) and could not agree more with the previous review. Top to bottom, this amp is very transparent, detailed, fast and powerful. A rare combination to find in any amp. It also works extremely well with my Aerial Acoustic 10T's.I believe that when one hears an amp like the DNA-2 Rev A or LAE, one will quickly realize that the amplifier is the KEY to any hi-end system's success or failure.
Product Weakness: It's bigger and heavier than a bread box. Product Strengths: very transparent, detailed, fast and powerful.
