Hey guys, came across what looks like a little baby of the flagship Holo Spring Audio DAC. The new DAC is named as 'Sabretooth' Check out the link below:

Looks like it is a R2R design, probably no linear compensation but use the same USB XMOS chipset board. It also includes a headphone amps and a remote! Definitely half the price or even more than the flagship model!

This is actually not a new product. Your link just says that it's not a R2R design but using dual AK4396 chips. I've been using this DAC for several years. Generally a good DAC for less than $700 but is said to be replaced by a new product using the same R2R module used in spring DAC (not gonna happen this year though, the designer is working on a new head amp to replace the old one called mammoth right now).
