Actually what happened(I'm almost sure of it) is that they(DPReview) put-up RAW images with NR applied to them whereas they wouldn't do this normally since part of the assessment is to compare noise performances between units(respectively).
Anyways, I didn't look very deeply into this, but it looks like they used ACR to create the images at which point, it's likely that they allowed ACR to run with default NR enabled, which I think is evaluative(based on noise readings) or not... I'm not entirely sure about that.
Whatever the case they've since fixed the issue and the K-01 is showing RAW noise as it should be.
Unfortunately, I didn't save any of the original screens, though I will say they were pretty outstanding against the competition. Enough to say that even the D800 people were on the defensive
