Yes, used both Sram powerlinks aswell as the KMC ones multiple times on DA7800 (and other shimano chains) without problems.
This is my Bike. There are many like it, but this one is mine. Without me, my bike is useless. Without my bike, I am useless.
Have used KMC chainlinks with good results on 10sp 7900 chains. Easy to remove, harder to "pull in place".
Dead easy with a masterlink plier though which I strongly recommend - http://www.parktool.com/product/master- ... iers-mlp-1

The Park tool is great for removing KMC links. When they are new they are hard to remove without a tool. To get them to snap in place after installing, rotate the chain so the link is on the top run, lock the rear brake and step on the crank. It doesn't take much force. But make sure the pins are in place first.

I use a KMC missing link all the time on my Ultegra and DuraAce chains. Works fine, no problems. I hate the Shimano bullet link, PITA and not reusable if you have to remove the chain ever. I just keep a few missing links always on hand.
I did buy the Park MLP1 tool for removing the link. You dont need the one for closing it, that can be done by hand strength, pulling on both sides of the chain with a towel for grip I found.
