I have a feeling that this might be just above the sound quality of the Presonus Studio live series boards, and I really like the feel and functionality...almost sold!

Giving my feedback..
Desk is well and solid built, all the main features can be easily accessed from the desk and the three-pages, four encoder/eight button is a great plus, allowing you (for example) to keep all dynamics control on the board.
Dynamics are pretty standard, EQ is great offering LO CUT + 6 bands!!
Also the FX section is fine, offering 8 slots that can be used mono or stereo, as an aux (for example reverb or delay) or insert (for example GEQ) and all parameters can be assigned to the encoder... G/Monitor EQ is avaible on the DCA faders.
Standing on my test, there's a little bit of HUM on the inputs of the mixer. Listening to a classical record and comparing with another desk (like PM5D) the noise is clearly audible.
They made a little mess with the routing.. it's OK, but could be easier and more flexible with a simple A/B matrix instead of this configuration (you can route only groups of 8 channels).
Also linking features are a bit limited (you can only link adiacent channel with ODD-EVEN system), but DCA do their job.
Snake boards are also well built and quite easy to use..
