Wow, well that's extremely rude of the Dan Clarke rep, I can barely picture how you'd turn up at a trade fair for the purpose of showing off your products to potential customers and then behave like that, that's really rude of him!
Especially considering the cost of exhibiting, unfortunately not uncommon though, shows are possibly seen by some employees ad ‘jolly’s’ when in fact they are hard work.

Hey guys. I ordered the Stealth as B-stock in March 2023. On the 23th of December my left driver became very quiet all of a sudden ( around 10db). The shop I ordered from only offered a repair but DCA couldn't do it and just send a new pair which I got today. Ironically the Stealth got a Stealth revision because I can now see a part of the driver behind the earpads. Anybody knows what's up with that?

If I remember correctly, I couldn't see the shiny part with my old, broken model. I could only see the structure of the meta material.

The production date of mine is somewhere in November 2022, so not one of the earliest batches, but it shows the driver in the same way.

My older model had a previous owner who send it back to the shop. Maybe that one is older. I'll ask DCA directly about this. Maybe I'm just imagining this though.

I bought it from DCA's online shop in fall 2021. Photos without and with flash.
