It's very comparable with respect to many audio quality attributes to the Denali V2, but not all. It doesn't have the magnitude of NR the Denali has, and it doesn't have the QR/BB subsystem, so it won't convey dynamics and immediacy in the same manner the Denali or Everest would be able to.
That being said, for the price, the new Venom V16 is an absolutely terrific PD for the money, and especially so if you buy it bundled with a Venom NR power cord.
