Are DAC's overpriced?


External DAC's are pretty expensive imho... BUT I don't know that much on how to choose one. I want mostly cd's in my small two channel system... I am rebuilding after selling my Logans and Mac amp to go back to "drivers"! The Logans wore me out with Maintenance.  Should I buy a new cd player or get a new DAC for my old player?

I recently purchased a Denafrips Pontus R2R external DAC that I'm very pleased with.  A bargain, I feel, at about $1800 US Dollars.  My thoughts are posted on their website:
