Anyone run their On3 K's on straight DC, or is everyone into DCC. I have a early MMI K-27 with their sound, how does this work on DC.

I ran my MMI K-27 a few times with straight DC. As I lacked any of the devices that allows for controlling sound using straight DC, the sound capabilities of the loco were very limited.
Additionally, the sound board that MMI supplied with the K-27 was very flaky and prone to trouble and failure - so much so in fact that MMI chose to supply their K-28 and future offerings without sound. I had to replace parts in mine (which MMI supplied free of charge), but ultimately ended up ripping out both the sound card and the decoded and replacing them with a Soundtraxx Tsunami unit.
Your mileage may vary.
