@Scintillarescenza Both DEX and DAINA have similar issues that have to do with recording issues. The most "problematic" glitch DAINA has is her [u:] being difficult when it's the first note in the string ("ooh" sounds, for example). I tried working with Aki to get that fixed but regardless of what happened, for some reason the [u:] issue never got fixed. D8 (DEX's worst glitch involves the "xy" triphone [k s i:] in which it gets improperly rendered and therefore the [k] needs to be replaced with [kh], which makes the issue much less of an issue compared to DAINA's [u:].

However, a large number of DEX and DAINA's issues have simple workarounds that make their usage relatively easeful, even for newer users who've never had to use VOCALOID before. I also have a workaround sheet that people can suggest contributions to for both DEX and DAINA, as well as a phoneme chart for VOCALOID 4 English libraries , all intended to help users as much as possible.

I must emphasize however, quality of usage does depend on the user for all VOCALOID libraries, and examples that plug and play VSQ(x) files made for other libraries are generally null and void due to the large amount of variation in the recording and programming processes of each individual library. The quality of these might result in good pitch and dynamic tuning, but pronunciation can be wildly off.

Feel free to press the matter further with me, if you'd like!
