Jay’s Audio DAC


Looks like Jay’s Audio entered the DAC market.

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

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?

I have an ex M1 and love it. Regarding DACs, and I’m new to all this, why, if the offer mqa, is it by way of USB?  Thanks
@mikepowellaudio   Very interested in where this stands versus the Terminator and the Rockna.
Yes, given that the Jay's + Denafrips combo was previously being touted, the big question is how it compares to Denafrips.  Which Denafrips model is it closest to in price?
@twoleftears:
The Jay’s Audio DAC appears to be designed to compete directly against the Denafrips Venus--the second tier unit of the Denafrips line-up. The Jay’s Audio DAC would run $2625USD; the Denafrips Venus would run $2805USD. Here is a comparison of the Denafrips DAC’s taken from Alvin’s website: https://www.vinshineaudio.com/denafrips
Absent knowledge of the products comparison table now included on Alvin’s site, I’ve commented before about the Venus on the Denafrips Terminator thread on the digital sub-forum (entry dated 11-03-2018 10:22pm): https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/denafrips-dac-owner-impressions-feedback-general-discussion-q...
