Default Hard to tell by just watching a video

Dusten video it is pretty cool. However, there is no way that a ti with any chip it is even close to a DASC. Trust me, you can tell the difference. It is like night and day. I wouldn't have it any other way.

I agree with Moku, to have a real good idea, you need to ride in a DASC ti to gauge the power difference.
