is your aim for your new DAC to sound as good or better than the dac1, and how good does it sound in the current prototype?

Yes, that's our goal--sound quality comparable to D/A's in the $2k-ish range. I haven't heard the DAC1 in person yet, so I can't offer any specific opinions about it. I also haven't had much time to work with our prototype DAC over the last couple of weeks because we've been so busy with the A/D.
As soon as we feel like we have attained or come reasonably close to what we're striving to do, we'll post audio samples. The biggest challenge is to design clock recovery that ensures consistent performance independent of the source unit.
We haven't settled on all of the features yet, but a headphone out is likely.
