HOLO Audio Spring DAC: Affordable discrete R2R Multibit Dac, could be a winner.

Many manufacturers are going back to R2R Multibit d/a conversion, a good portion of audiophiles are saying it sounds better than the cheaper d/a conversion of Delta Sigma, (1 bit), Bitstream, Saber. etc.
And it says it uses dual R2R’s Multibits to support DSD natively!!? 

Product Description:This new DAC.”Spring” is the first design of a new era, a milestone for HOLO Audio’s own Jeff Zhu. It’s a full discrete R2R type of audio decoder and does not have off the shelf-DAC chip! This is a bespoke custom-designed core DAC module and truly a breakthrough with technology for any DAC chip today. The Spring is here to achieve new heights, new dynamics and simply a full spectrum of audio to please the aural senses. This Dac has been called the poor mans Total Dac / MSB / Wavedream / Chord Dave Etc. It plays with the big boys.

George, Since you called me a computer geek, I’ll call you a poor reader. :) Why would you say I had no 44k/96/192/DXD (i.e PCM) comments about how it sounds. Nearly all of my examples (Radiohead, Gillian Welch, Keith Richards, Bill Frisell, etc) were redbook or 24 bit PCM examples, played back in NOS mode (i.e same sample rate as music source). I explained the timbre and dynamics of the PCM playback, etc. What did you want?

And I have also stated that I am getting the Yiggy in Wednesday (shipped today from a generous CA member).
