HoloAudio May Dac, New King of dacs? Stereophiles review on it?

Could be, got a very good review and bench test.
And yes it’s R2R!! and only $5k (wish it had a volume control though)

Both of those R2R DACs have volume control, which is adjusted by changing the reference voltage so outside of the signal path and without losses. Have you heard either of them?
