Anyone have any comments on the Stereophile Denali review just published in the June 2017 issue?
Michael Fremer compares it to the AudioQuest Niagara 7000 and when comparing a version of Bert Kaempfert's "That Happy Feeling" found:

The Shunyata's version produced somewhat brighter brushes but with less definition of transients, a bigger but sloppier-sounding kick drum with less-well-defined attacks, longer sustains, and longer but less tidy decays. The bass guitar was less well controlled than through the Niagaras - it seemed to keep going when it should have stopped. The strings, when they entered, had more metallic sizzle. Same with the trumpet, flugelhorn and handclaps (which had a slightly metallic, processed quality through both sets of power conditioners.)

He did however find the Denalis to be better than what he remembered of the Hydra Triton v2.
He notes one can't make a quick A/B comparison of the two.
