Wow. Interesting. Very slick. Hoping there is a (cheaper) dap for us in the future that sounds as good and acts similarly. For someone who has a lot of those lps and cds to fill out the rest (and duplicates, except the Cecil Taylor) this feels like I really should get my act together dubbing my lps and importing all of my blue notes as lossless files.

 
Actually if you can live with out MQS steaming or DSD128 support, then you should seriously consider the original AK100/120.  You can get very nice rich warm sounding Jazz from the AK120 with a pair of Weston W4R.
