GPS audio master clock

I came across these couple of interesting audio master clocks from Japan, both of which derived their timing from GPS signals.

They seem pretty affordable(?) for the accuracy that they claim over similarly priced products (they go for about US$2-3k. While I understand that GPS clock signals would probably be a lot more accurate than most (save for those Rubidium ones), would the bottle neck be in the receiver that needs to convert the received signal back to a clock signal (which may be pll based)? Also, would a clock like this need to be synced to a particular satellite or does anything go? The reason I asked this last question is that I don't live in Japan, and if the thing only works with some signal that is only present there, it would be useless.

I am quite interested to know what the tech savvy inmates think about this implementation. If it is good, I might pick one up next time I am in Japan and use it with my Esoteric K-03 (which is said to have an accuracy of 0.5ppm).

Thanks.
