My 10s Red bike has DA brakes (7700/7400 f/r), 11s DA chain, SEQlite cassette, 12/14t narrow/wide resin pulleys, and is smooth as butter. Shifts like a dream, has great brake modulation and power.
My mostly 7700 bike (7400 rear brake, 7800 cranks, Centaur shifters with Shiftmate) admittedly required me to tweak the rear shifter by removing the spring carrier's float, but that done, it couldn't shift nicer. Can't remember if I put a 10s chain on the 9s drivetrain to minimise rub though.
With the Yaw FD on the Red bike that trick wasn't as worthwhile, but still made the whole shebang a tad quieter. Also those 11s chains are way better, due to the proper bushings pressed into the side plates, so if you can use one, you probably should...
