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'm still not 100% sold on the Terminator, and if I can avoid lusting over and saving up for the Rockna, that would be spectacular.
