Honestly man, there is quite a bit of truth to what nG is saying. I'll tell ya what I know, but it isn't much. The power that the board makes is in between the DD M2 and the DD M3. Component wise it is supposed to be the best stuff that they have that will fit the board. DJ isn' the type of guy that is going to skimp $10 dollars on an amp, when it comes to quality. He might not put all the bell's and whistles on it, but he wants it to be reliable. It's comming from the same build house as the AQ 1200 and DD amps. I have 8 DD m1a's and 1 AQ 1200, and I haven't had a problem with any of them. I've been running the AQ 1200 since the day DJ received the first one, and so far it's been flawless. Past that I can't tell you anything really. I'm expecting a call from DJ any day telling me he has some in to play with. I'll let you know more then.
