as Tony indicates below, it certainly shares little with the DirectStream other than it is being vaguely connected as trickle down as you note.
It is essentially the NuWave DAC with DSD decoding for another few hundred bucks.
The marketing is a bit over the edge for my taste.
Follow Ups:
They say 'yes, it's a better dac on 16/44, you will hear a difference over the original'.
He also said it was an 'FPGA' dac and had been reworked quite a bit from the NWD.
I'm leery of the marketing as well, but I guess we'll just have to see what people who have one say.

Thanks for the update. I did not mean to imply they did not improve it or the previous version, they have a history of doing just that.
I guess the thing is causing concern is their trying to link it to the DirectStream some how, when it appears to have none of Ted Smith's core scheme.
As you say, let's see.
For the record, I think the iFI Pro DAC, coming in August, for the same price, will be the better product based on my experience with the NuWave and the Micro iDSD. Speculation of course..disclaimer.
