DCA tends to have good QC. The only thing is that their pads will deform. It's not a huge deal and shouldn't affect the sound, but it is annoying.

Deformed pads definitely change the sound with DCA. Even Dan Clark himself said in an interview that even a millimeter of difference will greatly affect the sound. The initial Stealth review by Passion for Sound was done with a unit that had worn out pads which changed the sound drastically, yet visually you couldn't really tell the difference between the new ones and the old ones.
