Initial impressions of the Shunyata Alpha V2: Freaking amazing. Balanced, detailed, spacious, tonally lovely. Subjectively better than the DH Labs or the WW.
I'll post back when I have more time with it. I also have an Alpha Ethernet in house to experiment with.

Cool.
The Alpha Ethernet will be interesting for you, too.
