Jay’s Audio DAC

Looks like Jay’s Audio entered the DAC market.

Here’s the link:

I see it uses the same CRYSTEK Femto clock technology as their Transports.

AK4497EQ multibit chip decoder

How does this compare to R2R decoding from the likes of Denafrips, Lab12 and others? Anyone have ideas or experience with the implementation of their technology from either their unit or related units?

Which Denafrips model is it closest to in price?
