I was going to pull the trigger and buy Allo Boss 1.2, but then one of my friends pointed me to this thread on DIYaudio.com. Apparently, Allo.com are working on a new DAC using the ESS Sabre 9038q2m chip and fully discrete output stage. It is expected to be available in 2 months, and the price will be “under $250” (so probably about 250€ for us Europeans).
