    One sentence summary: DCA is DCA in the end. AFC uber at best.

    While my taste differs from his more often than not in general, a lot of initial guesses I made when I saw Dan's HF interview were consistent with Andrew's early findings. Very interesting.

    My speculations so far:

    1) Their porous filter may control FR almost at the level of PEQ.
    2) Thin, lightweight, and small diaphragms are holding back. And possibly even worsened by weak magnets (for its price category).
    3) Business-wise target consumer groups a little unclear to me. Not for major audiophiles. Only for DCA's loyal fans (if any)?

    DC is definitely targeting the Harmon nerds with the at-release ASR review yet I doubt they will cough up a four f'ing thousand dollars.

    If they have to skimp on driver magnets for a $4k build their priorities are fucked.

    I'm totally fine if they only intend to serve for 'Harmonians' and/or Aeon lovers. Their decision. Fair enough. (but.. are those people really willing to pay for that amount of money?)

    Stealth indeed is heavier and more inefficient than previous ones. So good chance that they went for better magnet. But doubt if it's 4k-good. Single-sided structure.. well -- I may have a strong prejudice/bias lol.
