That sounds really clear and natural and it would be fantastic not to have to modify your instrument to add this. If it were $200 or less, I'd go and order one right now. But... Sweetwater has this priced at $620. I think I'll stick with the $99 K&K Pure Mini as the Pure Mini sounds far better than ribbon undersaddle transducers and about equal (to my ear) to undersaddle+mic pickups like the QII. While the K&K isn't as good as the DPS 4099, the 4099 doesn't sound 6x as good.

@sleigh, I agree I wpuldnt pay that much money for it. The K&K is hands down the best deal out there. I was fortunate to get my Baggs Anthem at cost price, so it set me back about 220 dollars (converted) in about 2013, which I thought was worth it. But if I had to do another after market pickup in another guitar, I would go K&K.

This DPS is expensive, and I think would work well for professional producers who are working on behalf of pro musos.

I used to use a $10 clip on lapel mic to record my S6. It was a battery powered condenser mic.
