Am I alone in the world using a 1997 high end pro sampler as a DAC?

Samplers are essentially a ADC/DAC on steroids.

I have blind tested it against some 2025 DAC units over £1500 retail, and this beast came out on top.

I have a Wired4sound DAC that was given to me. I guess it is probably from about 20 years ago. It isn’t bad and I would probably still be using it on my second system except it isn’t plug and play but requires drivers to be installed on the device that feeds it data, and you can’t install drivers on a streamer.
